security threats and solutions
  1. a security threat is a potential cause of unwanted incident, which may result in harm to a system
    1. security threats are like Errors and Omissions, Fraud and Theft, Employee Sabotage, Loss of Physical and Infrastructure Support, Malicious Hackers, Industrial Espionage, Threats to Personal Privacy.
      1. Virus: A code segment that replicates by attaching copies of itself to existing executables. The new copy of the virus is executed when a user executes the new host program. The virus may include an additional "payload" that triggers when specific conditions are met. For example, some viruses display a text string on a particular date. There are many types of viruses, including variants, overwriting, resident, stealth, and polymorphic.
        1. Trojan Horse: A program that performs a desired task, but that also includes unexpected (and undesirable) functions. Consider as an example an editing program for a multiuser system. This program could be modified to randomly delete one of the users' files each time they perform a useful function (editing), but the deletions are unexpected and definitely undesired!
          1. Worm: A self-replicating program that is self-contained and does not require a host program. The program creates a copy of itself and causes it to execute; no user intervention is required. Worms commonly use network services to propagate to other host systems.
