SECURITY

Today, we learnt a couple of things related to security. For example: what is security, which things do you want to protect, what an UPS is and what Social Engineering is.

a) What is the computer security?
- It is the protection of computer systems from the theft or damage to the hardware, software and many other files.

b) Which things do you want to protect from other people?
- It is really important to protect your data (addresses, credit card, etc...), your hardware, your network and you have to protect yourself too.
For example: if  someone takes/hacks your credit card, that person will be able to use it and spend all your money or if someone gets your WiFi password, that person will use your internet for free.


c) What is the meaning of  UPS?
- UPS (Uninterruptible Power Supply) is an electrical machine that provides emergency power to a load when the main power source fails.

d) What is "Social Engineering"?
- It is the psychological manipulation of people to get confidential information about important data (ex.: accounts' passwords)

*It is also important to always have an antivirus, this way you can avoid malware.
