Computer security

Computer security, on the other hand, is the protection of data physically stored on a computer. This includes taking steps to prevent attacks under the triad of information security, also known as CIA (confidentiality, integrity, and availability).

A few of the basic methods below pertain to computer security and will cover passwords, software updates, firewalls, anti-virus or malware programs, ad-blockers, email encryption, and data backups.

Having a good password

Of all the things anyone can do to secure their networks and devices, it is to create and maintain good, complex, long passwords.

A good password consists of three basic qualities: Its length, the characters used, and the combination of upper and lower case letters. The longer a password is, the harder it is to break. Some hackers try to use algorithms in which they send massive amounts of combinations, hoping that one is a match to the secret password. By increasing the length of a password, its chances of being cracked decreases.
