BNET Business Dictionary
Business Definition for: Internet Security
- the means used to protect Web sites and other electronic files from attack by hackers and viruses. The Internet is, by definition, a network; networks are open, and are thus open to attack. A poor Internet security policy can result in a substantial loss of productivity and a drop in consumer confidence.
The essential elements of Internet security are constant vigilanceâ€"the perfect Internet security system will be out of date the next day; a combination of software and human expertiseâ€"security software can only do so much, it must be combined with human experience; and internal as well as external securityâ€"many security breaches come from within an organization.
