Computer security is a broad concept and applies to each of us. We\u2019ve summarized the basics of computer security in our latest blog.<\/p>\n<h3>Three Tenets of Information Security<\/h3>\n<p>The principles of information security can be roughly divided into three sections: availability, confidentiality, and integrity. Availability is achieved when the information is available to the person concerned, regardless of the time. Confidentiality means that access to the information is restricted to those who have the rights to it and the data is not allowed to be passed on. Integrity means that the data must be up-to-date and integrity is maintained, for example through backups, so that the data is not destroyed as a result of a possible hardware failure.<\/p>\n<h3><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-10962 size-large\" src=\"https:\/\/mekiwi.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/01\/key_blog_security_web-1024x576.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"840\" height=\"473\" srcset=\"https:\/\/mekiwi.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/01\/key_blog_security_web-1024x576.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/mekiwi.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/01\/key_blog_security_web-300x169.jpg 300w, https:\/\/mekiwi.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/01\/key_blog_security_web-768x432.jpg 768w, https:\/\/mekiwi.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/01\/key_blog_security_web-1536x864.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/mekiwi.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/01\/key_blog_security_web-uai-258x145.jpg 258w, https:\/\/mekiwi.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/01\/key_blog_security_web-uai-720x405.jpg 720w, https:\/\/mekiwi.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/01\/key_blog_security_web-uai-1032x581.jpg 1032w, https:\/\/mekiwi.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/01\/key_blog_security_web-uai-516x290.jpg 516w, https:\/\/mekiwi.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/01\/key_blog_security_web-uai-1440x810.jpg 1440w, https:\/\/mekiwi.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/01\/key_blog_security_web.jpg 1920w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 840px) 100vw, 840px\" \/><\/h3>\n<h3>Computer security subdivisions<\/h3>\n<p>In addition to the principles of information security, information security can be further divided into different areas. These eight areas are:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>administrative security<\/strong> ie the company&#8217;s internal security plan and policies<\/li>\n<li><strong>physical security<\/strong> ie the protection of equipment against physical threats such as fire or theft<\/li>\n<li><strong>hardware security<\/strong> ie who has access to and the right to use, for example, the company&#8217;s computers or printers, companies also usually keep record of these<\/li>\n<li><strong>software security<\/strong> ie keeping the licenses and updates of hardware applications and software up to date<\/li>\n<li><strong>the security of the data<\/strong> ie access to the data only by an authorized person<\/li>\n<li><strong>telecommunications security<\/strong> ie the protection of information on the Internet and internal networks<\/li>\n<li><strong>personnel security<\/strong> ie instructing the company&#8217;s employees on the company&#8217;s information security policies<\/li>\n<li><strong>operational security<\/strong> ie securing the day-to-day operations of a company by keeping the systems up to date<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h3><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-10964 size-large\" src=\"https:\/\/mekiwi.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/01\/coding_newsletter-1024x576.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"840\" height=\"473\" srcset=\"https:\/\/mekiwi.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/01\/coding_newsletter-1024x576.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/mekiwi.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/01\/coding_newsletter-300x169.jpg 300w, https:\/\/mekiwi.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/01\/coding_newsletter-768x432.jpg 768w, https:\/\/mekiwi.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/01\/coding_newsletter-1536x864.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/mekiwi.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/01\/coding_newsletter.jpg 1920w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 840px) 100vw, 840px\" \/><\/h3>\n<h3>What is the difference between computer security and data protection?<\/h3>\n<p>Data protection and computer security can often be confused, but data protection means protecting the privacy of an individual, for example when processing personal data.
