A '''Security''' is a fungible and tradable financial instruments used to raise [[Capital|capital]] in public and private [[Market|markets]]. There are primarily three types of securities: equity — which provides ownership rights to holders; debt — essentially loans repaid with periodic payments; and hybrids — which combine aspects of debt and equity.<ref>What Does Security Mean?

−	#~~REDIRECT~~ [[Information Security]]	+	Security refers to the measures, techniques, and strategies employed to safeguard assets from harm. These assets could be anything of value to an individual, a corporation, or a nation and could include physical possessions, intellectual property, personal data, or even one's self or loved ones.
		+
		+	The purpose of security is to prevent unauthorized access, use, disclosure, disruption, modification, or destruction of assets. It plays an essential role in protecting privacy, data, systems, network infrastructure, and other important assets.
		+
		+	== Components ==
		+
		+	#Prevention: This involves the actions to prevent security incidents from occurring in the first place. These can include physical barriers (like locks and access control systems), technical methods (like firewalls and antivirus software), and administrative controls (like user awareness programs and security policies).
		+	#Detection: This involves monitoring and analysis to identify whether a security incident has occurred or is in progress. Examples include intrusion detection systems and regular audits of access logs.
		+	#Response: This involves actions taken in response to a security incident, including measures to minimize the impact and prevent further damage, as well as steps to recover from the incident. This might involve shutting down systems, alerting users, or restoring from backups.
		+	#Recovery: This phase includes the steps taken to return to normal operations following a security incident and to prevent similar incidents from occurring in the future.
		+
		+	== Importance ==
		+
		+	Security is important because it protects valuable assets from harm. This protection is necessary to maintain the confidentiality, integrity, and availability of these assets.
		+
		+	== Benefits ==
		+
		+	Implementing effective security measures can prevent data breaches, identity theft, and other forms of cybercrime. This can save businesses and individuals from financial loss, protect reputations, and comply with legal requirements.
		+
		+	== History ==
		+
		+	Security, in its many forms, has been a concern since the beginning of civilization. With the rise of the digital age, the focus has shifted from physical security to information security, with increasingly sophisticated methods of both attack and defense.
		+
		+	== Pros and Cons ==
		+
		+	The primary advantage of security is the protection it offers against various threats. However, there can be drawbacks, such as the inconvenience caused by security controls and the potential for breaches if the security measures are not sufficiently robust.
		+
		+	For example, the use of strong passwords and two-factor authentication can greatly enhance the security of an online account, protecting it from unauthorized access. However, these measures can also be inconvenient for the user, and if the user fails to secure their password or second factor, the account may still be vulnerable to attack.
