♠️ What is the difference between security and privacy? ♠️

[Eminem 201]

[hide] Security is an overarching principle in IT. As more new technologies become connected by networks such as global IP and wireless telecom networks, there is more attention paid to how to control data and how to make it secure. Security architectures can include very different components, from endpoint security practices that control the display of data on smartphones and tablets, to "data in use" network security practices that protect network data and infrastructure from hacking or cyberattacks.

 

Privacy is a bit of a different issue having to do with an individual's right to own the data generated by his or her life and activities, and to restrict the outward flow of that data. Privacy is something that may not be built into security efforts, or seen as a necessary objective by big companies or government agencies. [/hide]
