                  Computer  safety  refers  to  the  protection  of  computer-based  resources,  including  hardware,
                  software, and data, against unauthorised access, misuse, theft, or physical damage.

                       PROTECTING YOUR COMPUTER FROM UNAUTHORISED

                     ACCESS
                  Maintaining the physical health of your computer is essential, but it is equally important to prevent

                  damage or misuse of your data, software, and hardware. Additionally, restricting unauthorised
                  access is crucial to protect your system.
                  One of the ways to prevent the misuse of data or software is authentication. Authentication is
                  the process of verifying a user’s identity before granting him or her access to a computer system.
                  In private and public computer networks (including the Internet), authentication is commonly

                  done through the use of login passwords. Knowledge of the password is assumed to guarantee
                  that the user is authentic.
                  Some of the authentication procedures are as follows:

                     using password is an essential step to make the

                     data of computer safe from unauthorised access.
                     A  password is a word or collection of characters
                     used for user authentication to verify identity or get
                     approval to gain access to the computer. Strong
                     password typically includes a combination of letters
                     (both uppercase and lowercase), numbers, and special
                     characters, making it harder to guess. It's crucial to               Password Protection

                     keep passwords confidential and update them regularly to maintain security’s.
