Security and Access Control

Security and access control refer to the systems and policies that protect digital and physical resources from unauthorized use or harm. Security involves measures like encryption, firewalls, or passwords to prevent threats. Access control determines who can view or use specific resources, based on their identity or permissions. Together, they ensure that only authorized individuals can access sensitive information or areas, safeguarding assets and maintaining privacy. Think of it as a well-guarded building where keys and security cameras help monitor and restrict entry to authorized people only.
