Security within the information technology sector has become a hot topic because more and more people have come to rely on their computers for all their information. With that information comes a risk that the data could be stolen or compromised in some way to allow another company to have a competitor's advantage or something more nefarious.

When performing any task, whether it be performing work on a desktop, laptop, server, or a personal home machine, security is taken into consideration to protect the machine from threats based on the use of the machine.  The measures taken to secure a system is based on understanding the level of risk involved in the tasks performed, the sensitivity of the information, and the type of information that is handled.

As far as some basic areas of security, network security is referred to as checking and verifying whether internal personnel have the appropriate access to network resources as well as setting up firewalls to only allow pre-determined external access to specific machines.  Email security refers to removing spam, implementing content filtering to protect company assets from leaving, and enforcing encryption on confidential and sensitive information.  There is also endpoint security that refers to limiting access and resources to prevent an employee from copying data to a USB drive or downloading a CD to the corporate machine unless it's approved.
