1.Password Security
Password strength is a measure of the effectiveness of a password in resisting guessing and brute-force attacks. In its usual form, it estimates how many trials an attacker who does not have direct access to the password would need, on average, to guess it correctly. The strength of a password is a function of length, complexity, and unpredictability A password policy is a set of rules designed to enhance computer security by encouraging users to employ strong passwords and use them properly. A password policy is often part of an organization's official regulations and may be taught as part of security awareness training. The password policy may either be advisory or mandated by technical means. Some governments have national authentication frameworks[1] that define requirements for user authentication to government services, including requirements for passwords.
2. Hardware Security
A hardware security module (HSM) is a physical computing device that manages digital keys for strong authentication and provides cryptoprocessing without revealing decrypted data. These modules traditionally come in the form of a plug-in card or an external TCP/IP security device that can be attached directly to a server or general purpose computer. Each module contains one or more secure cryptoprocessor chips to prevent tampering and bus probing.
3. Security Softwares
Security software is a generic term referring to any computer program or library whose purpose is to (help to) secure a computer system or a computer network.
4. Backup Security
In information technology, a backup, or the process of backing up, refers to the copying and archiving of computer data so it may be used to restore the original after a data
