1. Networks

   • Network security (FAPE)
     • policies and procedures for communication and permissible, timely record exchange, as well as mechanisms to ensure accountability for adherence. Many jurisdictions across the country have undertaken the necessary process of linking agency databases, and such efforts are proving crucial for timely and complete record transfer.41 In addition, formal processes are necessary to ensure parental/ guardian/surrogate engagement and information sharing to facilitate the Child Find process in a manner consistent with FERPA and IDEA confidentiality provisions.
   • LAN/WAN/WPAN
   • Connection Types
     • Ethernet
     • Bluetooth
     • WiFi
       • video game consoles, smartphones and tablets, smart TVs, digital audio players, cars and modern printers. Wi-Fi compatible devices can connect to the Internet via a WLAN and a wireless access point. Such an access point (or hotspot) has a range of about 20 meters (66 feet) indoors and a greater range outdoors. Hotspot coverage can be as small as a single room with walls that block radio waves, or as large as many square kilometres achieved by using multiple overlapping access points.
     • GPRS

2. Hardware

   • RAM
     • memory device allows data items to be read or written in almost the same amount of time irrespective of the physical location of data inside the memory. In contrast, with other direct-access data storage media such as hard disks, CD-RWs, DVD-RWs and the older magnetic tapes and drum memory, the time required to read and write data items varies significantly depending on their physical locations on the recording medium, due to mechanical limitations such as media rotation speeds and arm movement.
   • Secondary Storage
   • CPU

3. Firewalls

   • In computing, a firewall is a network security system that monitors and controls incoming and outgoing network traffic based on predetermined security rules. A firewall typically establishes a barrier between a trusted internal network and untrusted external network, such as the Internet.

4. Anti-malware

5. Passwords

   • A password is a word or string of characters used for user authentication to prove identity or access approval to gain access to a resource, which is to be kept secret from those not allowed access. The use of passwords is known to be ancient.

6. Encryption
