Answer: The goals of computer security are to protect computers and users from data theft or loss as well as damage to any part of the computer.
Explanation: Common means of achieving computer security are firewalls, anti-virus software and this can fail due to hardware problems or
weaknesses that prevent malicious attacks.
To answer this question, think of a time when you experienced any one of these. For example, personally, I was once an unfortunate victim of a general malicious attack that took advantage of a weakness in my anti-virus software. After clicking on a link on a dodgy website, a virus was installed on my computer. My computer finally crashed, without any hope of restarting it. I lost all my data and I had to buy a new computer. This was a malicious attack.
However, sometimes people can be specifically targeted to steal their data or monitor their activities.
Answer: Local Area Network (LAN)
Explanation:
A Local Area Network (LAN) is a computer network that interconnects computers within a limited physical area such as a residence, school, laboratory, university campus or office building.
An example of LAN network is "Phone, Computer and TV connected to a single network (such as a Home Network) via Cables, Wifi, Bluetooth or Hotspot". When the devices are interconnected or connected to a LAN, it becomes accessible between each other.
A simplest example of a LAN Device is a <em>Home Router.</em>
