slide4. Importance of Security 1- To Avoid Malware's Damage
The viruses and worms are the most common problem that an organization faces.
The organization may be exposed to viruses and worms as a result of employees not following procedures.
Viruses and worms generally are non-discriminating threats that are released without targeting a specific organization. King Saud University – Applied Studies and Community Service –1111 CYS<br>
slide5. Importance of Security 2- To Prevent Hacker's Sabotage
The hackers deliberately access computer systems and networks without authorization.
The term hacking also applies to the act of exceeding one’s authority in a system.
The process to gain access to a system takes persistence and dogged determination.
The type of attackers has evolved over the years.
The automated tools allow even novice attackers to exploit highly technical and complex vulnerabilities. King Saud University – Applied Studies and Community Service –1111 CYS<br>
slide6. Importance of Security 3- To Save Information Infrastructure
Nations have increasingly become dependent on computer systems and networks.
This information infrastructure might be targeted by terrorist organizations.
Information may also be used as a weapon.
This threat is characterized by longer period of preparation, financial backing, and organized group of attackers.
The threat may include attempts not only to subvert insiders but also to plant individuals inside of a potential King Saud University – Applied Studies and Community Service –1111 CYS<br>
slide7. Importance of Security 4- To Combat Cyber Crimes and Fraud
In a networked world, new generation of vandals and data thugs do not need to have physical contact with the victim.
Data can be easily copied, transmitted, modified or destroyed.
Thus, the scene of crime is a particularly difficult one.
There are no traces, identification of the culprits is nearly impossible, apprehension even more so and the legal framework does not make adequate provision for justice in this kind of crime. King Saud University – Applied Studies and Community Service –1111 CYS<br>
slide8. Importance of Security 5- To Clear Responsibility
Computer security is a multibillion dollar industry that addresses a threat that now impacts everyone.
If you use a computer of any kind, anywhere, computer security not only affects you, it is your responsibility.
If your device is compromised, you could be an unwitting partner in crime, or at least a source of inconvenience.
you need to worry about power failures, natural disasters, backups.
You have to observe network and security regulations. King Saud University – Applied Studies and Community Service –1111 CYS<br>
