Basic of Computer Science – Security

Advancement of computer technology has radically changed the world; resultantly, most of nation’s security system or buying a shoe online everything depends on computer.

Such increased dependency also raises the issue of security, as most of the data is now stored in the computer system.



Your computer systems store various sorts of data and hence if it is not secured, then you might be in for a big trouble.

Why Do WE Computer Security?

Let us now see why do we need Computer security. It is required for the following major reasons –

  •          To prevent damage of the hardware.
  •          To prevent theft of damage of the installed software.
  •          To prevent the disruption of service.
  •          Likewise, security system keeps the computer system safe by protecting the installed software and the stored data (information).

Protection of Data and Information

Following are the important steps to protect data –

  •          Make backup of all your important files.
  •          Keep your system virus by using anti-virus software.
  •          keep updating your computer system.
  •          Run disk defragmenter and disk cleanup on certain interval of time.
  •          Use a firewall.
  •          Use anti-spyware software

Further, if you use internet, then you need to take greater precaution. Considered to following points to understand the precautions that need to be taken –

  •          Do not click on any link that you don’t know (as it may be dangerous for your computer – virus attack).
  •          Do not open unauthorized an unlawful website (it may damage your computer system).
  •          Do not download unsolicited data from unknown website.

What is Defragmentation?

Frequent saving and deleting of file (data) from the hard disk creates problem in performance and also reduce the space; therefore, defragmentation again clean-up the drive and restore the system to run smoothly.

Following are the simple steps of defragmentation –



Disk Cleanup

While browsing websites (on internet), many of the files get sored in the hard disk automatically (actually these stored files later helps to reopen the website faster); besides some other cookies also get stored files create problem along with eating space.

So, disk cleanup process cleans all these files and releases the space occupied by these unwanted files.

Following are the simple steps of disk cleanup –

Feedback repression

Repressible regulation of the gene is seen when the end product of a biosynthetic pathway like amino acid, is provided in the medium. At this time, internal biosynthesis of amino acid stops. It is negative control so the metabolic (amino acid) turns off a set of genes involved in producing that metabolite. This is called feedback repression.

GENOMICS

Genomics : The term Genome (introduced by H. Winkler in 1920) is the total genetic constitution of an organism. Alternatively, it is a complete copy of genetic information (DNA) or one complete set of chromosomes (monoploid or haploid) of an organism. The term Genomics (term coined by T.H. Roderick in 1986) is the study of genomes through analysis, sequencing and mapping of genes along with the study of their functions.
