5 Layers Of Computer Security: Analysing The Levels

Analysing Five Layers Of Computer Security

In my previous article, I have discussed at length some of the facts that you need to know about computer security. In this article, I want to look at the five layers of computer security. Follow me as we will be analysing this together in this article.

#1 Physical Security

This has to do with the process of safeguard network hardware, computers, and other infrastructure from intruders and thieves.

Most at times, you have to ensure that computer devices are kept away from locations where they can be damaged or tampered with. You have to keep some of these data away from unauthorised access as much as possible.

#2 Network Security 

This has to do with protecting your network appliances and there services from unauthorised modification, destruction and disclosure.

This will prevent hackers and unauthorised users from having access to your network resources. 

#3 System security 

This protect system and it’s resources as well as information from corruption, theft and unauthorised access to users resources. This will ensure that computer systems available in the organisation are kept secured. 

#4 Application Security

This has to do with the use of software, hardware and procedural methods to protect applications against external attacks.

It has to do with all measures that organisations have put in place in order to ensure that users are secured when using organisations resources. 

#5 User security 

This ensures that a valid user is logged in and that the logged-in user is allowed to have access to all the resources that are needed in order to guarantee user experience.
