Hello to everyone! My name is Pablo Picabea and I am the administrator of this webpage.

This page will be about computers and technology especially about computer security.

Computer Security:

Firstly I will explain to you what is computer security and some features about it:

Definition:

Computer security can be defined as controls that are put in place to provide confidentiality, integrity, and availability for all components of computer systems. These components include data, software, hardware, and firmware. This is a complex definition. Let’s illustrate the definition by showing you a day in the life of Samantha, a security manager just hired for a small company. The company doesn’t have any computer security yet, so she knows to start with the very basics.

Components of computer security:

• Hardware is the physical part of the computer, like the system memory and disk drive.
• Firmware is the permanent software that runs the processes of the computer and is mostly invisible to the user, like the start-up functions that make elements of the hardware work together.
• Software is the programming that offers services to the user and administrator. The operating system, word processor, computer games, and Internet browser are all examples of software commonly found on a computer.
