Why is security so important? And Why do we need security?

Today, users from all over the world can communicate with each other easily, and with just one click, on other hand, we should also mention the bad aspects of this wide world, one of which is the person who has malicious intent can access the information of all people in all parts of the globe easily, which causes the person who intends to maintain their information and  create high safety for their system  to face more problems in turn.

Due to the  development  of the Internet and the increasing number of users who deal with the Internet, the importance of  increasing the system's security  is increasing day by day. Users are becoming more and more aware that they need more safety, one of the most frequently discussed topics today, which attracts many users, is the  security  issue. The word that is heard a lot these days and makes users curious to know more about those topics, is hack and hacker, these two words can make a huge change in the whole world of safety.

Why is safety so important?

Security is important  for various reasons, which we will discuss in a few sections below.

- Increasing natural hazards:

Today, you may have seen or heard of many reports that indicate that the information in a database has been lost due to a natural disaster, such as a flood, earthquake, etc., which is the reason which has caused the owners of such information to make every effort to  increase the safety  of their information by giving more importance to information security, so that they do not face the problem of losing their important information as a result of such incidents, you certainly know that safety is divided into different types. One of the types of safety that plays a greater role in maintaining information safety against natural disasters is physical security, and the subject of physical safety has a wide world.

In fact, in physical safety, owners of systems that contain important information make great efforts to provide information such as backup data, strengthen the rooms in which the systems are located, and so on, to provide information security and protect it against natural disasters as well as dangers like theft.

- Increase online sales:

As we mentioned before, all the things related to online networks are expanding today, one of which is that users have been able to make better use of their time. They try to save their time, so they try to meet all their needs through the Internet in a short while, these processes including online shopping may create a huge threat for user information, because, through this process, the users need to provide their information such as contact number, address, credit card number, etc., to the owners of the sites from which they intend to make their purchases, now imagine that the owners of such sites do not pay attention to the  website safety, what do you think might happen?

The thing that is going to happen is clear, at this time, people's information will be easily available to profiteers, and users who have trusted the sites to get whatever they need online, will regret trusting them and won't visit this site again, so they will also tell their friends about the negative user experience which they have gained from using this site, to make them aware of the possible threats, so that they do not lose their personal and important information easily, and this will cause a huge decrease in the credibility of the website over time. After a while, there may be no one else to visit that site. As a result, the owners of such sites make every effort to be able to  increase the safety  of their site by mastering security issues or with the help of experts in this field so that users can gain a positive user experience after purchasing from their site, and finally share that positive experience with other users.

- High cost of security breach:

All organizations and systems have limited budgets for their  information safety. Imagine that instead of using their budget initially, they save and postpone that budget until their information is robbed. Is that the right choice?

The answer is no. In such cases, they have to pay a heavy price to recover their lost information and  increase system safety. As a result, the owners of organizations and systems pay more attention to their security from the beginning of establishing systems. They do their best to eliminate the security holes in the systems to not face many problems in the future.

- Security of the site has become a rule:

Users who deal with the Internet are being increasingly aware of the importance of safety and become more familiar with the laws that exist in this field and realize the fact that as a user and customer, it is their right to ensure their information security in a site which they tend to enter their information in, and if they encounter a breach, they can report quickly to pursue this safety legally.

This law can be one of the factors that have caused the issue of  security  to become more prominent, and anyone who deals with the Internet, even for a short time, should take it seriously and protect their information with more effort, in general, safety has seven layers, which are: information security policies, physical security, secure networks and systems, vulnerability programs, strong access control measures, protect and backup data, and monitor and test your systems, each of which is very important in increasing the safety of the system, so you should take each of them more seriously and increase the safety of the information in your system by mastering all the parts.

In the meantime, we will pay more attention to network safety.

What is Network Security?

Any activity that is done to protect the information in the network from possible damages by malicious people, which provides a safe place for users to use the network safely, is called  network safety, a network can be damaged in many ways, so it is necessary to maintain network safety in all dimensions, it should also be noted that to  increase network security  and check the safety holes in the system, you can get help from blue and white hat hackers which we will mention briefly in the following.

- Having complete control over spam emails:

Network security may be compromised by opening an email, so it is important to know how you can detect such emails and delete them with full knowledge and the necessity of not clicking on them to keep your network secure.

- Constant updating of the software you are dealing with:

Each of the programs you use may have bugs that can cause a lot of damage to your network, so you need to update these programs regularly to keep your network secure.

- Using software to prevent malicious programs from entering or running on the network:

Many programs can enable you to detect and examine malicious programs quickly to do not interfere with the  security of your information.

- Blocking users' access to malicious networks:

If you use a network, you may encounter the problem of data theft, and network security can help you in this direction to  increase your information security.

- Use of preventive devices:

In addition to many hackers who can help you increase network security, some devices can do this to some extent, detect security holes, and increase network security.

- Training all users who deal with the system and network:

If you follow all the items in the network security carefully, but one of the users who are dealing with the network does not follow the security items properly, a security hole may be created, and through the same hole, hackers can enter the network and gain access to your information and make lots of security problems, which is why it is necessary to give the training to all people so that they do not damage the network safety with wrong actions.

Last word:

In this article, we did our best to express to you the importance of  security  so that you can properly maintain the security of information in your system with full awareness of this issue today. It is necessary to address safety issues like hacking and so on, so you should have the necessary control over this issue and be aware of all these details to prevent any action by hackers.
