This section deals with the overall problem of security as it affects computer
installations. It discusses threats to computer security, and provides
guidelines for meeting those threats. The table at the end of this chapter
synopsizes this material in a quick reference form.
Computer security deals with more than just the security of the computer
itself. The environment in which the system operates also must be secure.
Otherwise, you may find that all the hardware and software security
precautions in the world will not be enough to protect your system from
damage or penetration.
