Security technology is the use of tools and methods to protect people, assets, and systems from unauthorized access or cyber threats. It includes technologies for physical and cyber security, and can be used to prevent, deter, detect, and respond to threats.
Here are some examples of security technologies:
Cloud security
A strategy and solutions to protect cloud infrastructure and applications from cyber threats. Cloud-based security systems can centralize security tools, monitor data, and detect threats in real time.
Firewalls
A network security system that regulates incoming and outgoing network traffic to prevent unauthorized access. Firewalls can be implemented as hardware, software, or a combination of both.
Network security
The technologies, policies, people, and procedures that protect communication infrastructure from cyberattacks.
Cybersecurity
The application of technologies, processes, and controls to protect systems, networks, programs, devices, and data from cyber attacks.
Other security technology trends include: security system integration, mobile-based management, remote access control, and merged video surveillance and access control.
