    Answer the following. You may use another sheet for your answer.

    1. What is security?
    Ans: Computer security, also called cybersecurity, is the protection of computer systems and information
    from harm, theft, and unauthorized use.
    2. State the difference between old security measures versus modern world security measures.
    Ans: A modern security system always accompanies a high-resolution camera. Traditional security systems relied
    a lot on infrared image formation and detection. Checking your house for safety while you are out on vacation is
    extremely easy with digital access to all your house cameras on your phone and laptop.
    3. What is network and internet security?
    Ans: Network Security protects your network and data from breaches, intrusions and other
    threats.
    4. How secure are you today? Establish an example why privacy is already compromised nowadays.
    Ans: Privacy helps us establish boundaries to limit who has access to our bodies, places and things, as well as our
    communications and our information.
    5. Why we need to know protocols in handling information across computer networks?
    Ans: Networking makes the internet work, but neither can succeed without protocols. Common network

    Ans: You should not post sensitive content or any personal information like bank acc. and etc. to prevent you
    from hackers.

    1. Internet is also defined as an Information superhighway where one can access


    information over the web.

    to the use of the internet to connect outsiders to an organization's intranet.
    9. To provide more security to Intranet, the following two measures are also taken by
    an organization: intranet and (10) Extranets

    Ans: WANs can facilitate communication, the sharing of information and much more between devices
    from around the world through a WAN provider.
    4. Metropolitan Area Network
    Ans: A MAN is larger than a local area network (LAN) but smaller than a wide area network (WAN).
    5. Topologies
    Ans: Physical network topology examples include star, mesh, tree, ring, point-to-point, circular,
    hybrid, and bus topology networks, each consisting of different configurations of nodes and links.

    Discussion: Explain the following briefly.


    1. Differentiate the 4 types of computer networks. Provide an example.
    Ans: The vital computer network is divided into four types based on their size and functions. They
    are LAN, MAN, PAN, and WAN. Here LAN stands for Local Area Network, MAN stands for
    Metropolitan Area Network, Personal Area Network is abbreviated into PAN whereas WAN is expanded
    as Wide Area Network.
