Bezpečnost, or „security“ in English, in the context of computer science refers to the measures and practices designed to protect computer systems, networks, and data from unauthorized access, attacks, damage, or disruption. This encompasses various aspects, including but not limited to:
1. **Data Security**: Protecting sensitive information from unauthorized access or breaches.
2. **Network Security**: Safeguarding networks from intrusions, attacks, or abusive use.
3. **Application Security**: Ensuring that software applications are secure from vulnerabilities and threats.
4. **Information Security**: Protecting information and information systems from unauthorized access, use, disclosure, disruption, modification, or destruction.
5. **Operational Security**: Processes and decisions for handling and protecting data assets.
Security in computer science involves a mix of technology, processes, and policies to ensure confidentiality, integrity, and availability of information. This includes implementing firewalls, encryption, access controls, and conducting regular security audits and assessments to identify and mitigate risks. Effective security is proactive, aiming to prevent breaches and minimize impacts should a security incident occur.
