👉 Protecting computing, also known as secure computing or secure information technology, is a broad field focused on safeguarding data, systems, and networks from unauthorized access, misuse, or damage. It encompasses a variety of practices, technologies, and policies designed to ensure the confidentiality, integrity, and availability of information. Key aspects include encryption to protect data at rest and in transit, access control mechanisms to limit who can view or modify information, secure coding practices to prevent vulnerabilities in software, and regular security audits to identify and mitigate potential threats. Additionally, protecting computing involves educating users about cybersecurity best practices, implementing robust incident response plans, and complying with legal and regulatory standards to maintain trust and security in digital environments.
