Security in computing refers to the protection of systems, networks, data, and information assets from unauthorized access, disclosure, alteration, destruction, or disruption. It encompasses various measures, policies, and practices aimed at mitigating risks and vulnerabilities and ensuring confidentiality, integrity, and availability of resources. Security measures include authentication, authorization, encryption, access controls, firewalls, intrusion detection systems, and security protocols. Additionally, security awareness training, incident response planning, and regular security audits are essential for maintaining a robust security posture and addressing emerging threats. Security is a critical consideration in all aspects of computing, including software development, system administration, network management, and cloud computing, as well as in regulatory compliance and risk management. By prioritizing security, organizations can protect sensitive information, safeguard against cyber threats, maintain regulatory compliance, and build trust and confidence among users, customers, and stakeholders.

Snippet from Wikipedia: Security

Security is protection from, or resilience against, potential harm (or other unwanted coercion). Beneficiaries (technically referents) of security may be persons and social groups, objects and institutions, ecosystems, or any other entity or phenomenon vulnerable to unwanted change.

Security mostly refers to protection from hostile forces, but it has a wide range of other senses: for example, as the absence of harm (e.g., freedom from want); as the presence of an essential good (e.g., food security); as resilience against potential damage or harm (e.g. secure foundations); as secrecy (e.g., a secure telephone line); as containment (e.g., a secure room or cell); and as a state of mind (e.g., emotional security).

Security is both a feeling and a state of reality. One might feel secure when one is not actually so; or might feel insecure despite being safe. This distinction is usually not very clear to express in the English language.

The term is also used to refer to acts and systems whose purpose may be to provide security (security company, security police, security forces, security service, security agency, security guard, cyber security systems, security cameras, remote guarding). Security can be physical and virtual.
