IT security
IT security is also referred to as cyber security or Internet security and implies protecting IT systems from threats and attacks. Files, computers, or entire networks can be attacked in that process. IT security includes both organizational and technical measures that are intended to protect IT systems from threats. The term cyber security includes protective measures such as firewalls, proxy servers, virus scanners, rights management, and access controls. IT security also differs from information security. While information security deals with the protection of information, IT security protects technical devices or IT systems.
