Talk:Security
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Security is also the ability to control and allocate resources without external coersion.
"Safety is the condition of being protected against ..." - "Security is being free from ...". If there is such a difference in these terms you should make it more clear. Maybe the difference is in "Security measures" and "Safety"? --Media lib 00:59, 18 Nov 2004 (UTC)

[edit] Private security
the following section I deleted (am about to) since it didn't seem to fit. There is a private security but it is just a redirect to security guard. I think that maybe a new article could be inspired by this?? Mozzerati 20:51, 2004 Dec 5 (UTC)
In private security, security is the result of services provided to prevent, deter, detect and/or document crime, fire, disorder or violations of company rules. These services may be provided by a security guard or by alarms, security cameras, or as a routine part of the performance of every employee's duties (especially in smaller companies).
Compare with: National security, Police
(Unsigned comment by Mozzerati)
physical security is essential to computer security, because people who break into where the computer hardware is physically located, can often get into a lot more stuff than people who are connecting over the Internet, so different kinds of security, irrespective of how it is provided, they all interconnect.

- You are right. There are very few (and expensive!) computer systems that handle in an acceptable way physical access. Poli (talk • contribs) 01:03, 2005 July 15 (UTC)
- I am a newbie here, but I have worked in computers for over 40 years and in computer security for over 20 years. I started writing Security breaches then ran into problems with not achieving NPOV and style for here. To try to fix this, I started an article Computer security audit focused on what any computer site can do rather inexpensively to identify what needs to be fixed, and link to security education. As you can see, it may have to be deleted, because while people agree that this topic belongs in Wiki something, I may be too involved in security that works, to write an article that is impartial on how to avoid Computer insecurity.
- In my opinion, until WiFi came along, physical security for computer systems, in fixed locations (as opposed to portable lap tops) was reasonably doable, and not darn expensive. But with WiFi there is a massive need for education, comparable to how come so many people get infected with computer viruses.
- WiFi is in the security news a lot because most modern PCs come with WiFi on by default. This means crooks can cruise parked cars scanning for the WiFi on signal that comes from laptop inside that car, and they know if it is in the trunk, back seat or wherever, to break into the car and get the lap top. Ditto any lap top left unattended just about any semi-public location.
- WiFi is in the security news a lot because MANY computer systems come with WiFi security off by default. This means a lot of computer systems get installed with no security, THEN someone tries to figure out security, and perhaps not right away. In our modern era, computers need to have security turned on before connected to Internet or to WiFi.

[edit] Home
Home security should be a firearm, a knife, a toxic dart, or a bowling ball and a high balcony. Though you can not lay fire on someone until they enter your dwelling ( i hate the word "dwelling.") When you see someone enter your property and they look like a possible threat or have a weapon you should:
1. Stop what you are doing.
2. Lock door. This gives you time to "prepare" the inside of your house for the intruder
If you were on a computer and your opposer is a guy then putting your computer onto a nasty website will destract him if he see's it.
3. Find a weapon. Weapons can be anything from a baseball bat to a pair of scissors a mag light can work as a club, or if you're sensible you will have a firearm in a safe that can be accessed without going near a window.
If you do have a safe you need to be sure it is at a place that can be easily accessed without going near a window or a place that is easy to get to but hard for the intruder to find.
4. If you have a second story go there.
5. By this time the intruder has probably found a way inside. You should go to a room that has a room across from it. Then while stayind in the hall you should close the door LOUDLY and then go into the room across from it without closing the door. This will attract the inrtuders attention.
6. Then when he gets to the door you closed he has his back to you. Then he is in your little world you can do anything to him. but you need to do so in 1-2 seconds cause thats the time when he will turn around and look. If you have a club weapon then you should hit him on the back of the head right above the spine where the head is weak. If you have a knife weapon you should stab the top of the right shoulder right where the pressure point is.

- Is there a point in your process where you call the police? Or, is your theory that
- You will kill the intrucer, but if he escapes outside, then dies, you will move the body back inside your home, because if the police forensics are not competent, they will conclude the intruder died when you were in the right.
- Then call your lawyer, before you call the police.

Even if the its the FBI that decide to attack your house and you have a good system they cant win. My house has several hidden weapon caches and things that happen if you step in the wrong place. Normaly these would be seen on thermal but they've been altered so you cant. as well as my weapons, they all have been equiped with the stealth technology so that you cant see them on radar. (If you think im a little over reactive on thinking things out its because I finish all my home work 2 weeks ahead of time so i have nothing to do.) Also when im outside i usualy have a weapon and armor of some form (Usualy Moshkar because it can be worn as a shirt and still stop a 9mm.) The only flaw in the system is that when at school I'm completly open. So anyone could walk in and do anything. Daniel Glisson
[edit] Security vs. Safety
I changed the beginning paragraph of this page to better clarify a subtle difference between security and safety. backburner001 20:31, 28 January 2006 (UTC)
I work with column internals. We get a lot of data from our German office. I belive Sicherheit = Factor of Safety as well. If some1 could please verify this. Thanks all.
