System Security

System Security refers to techniques for ensuring that data stored in a computer cannot be read or altered by any individuals without authorization.

Risks:
  • The server/system can be hacked and confidential information could be exposed.
Controls:
  • The system should be managed to ensure that data is secure.
  • The server/system should run anti-virus software and reside behind a firewall.
