Identifying and evaluating potential threats, vulnerabilities, and their
associated risks to the computing system.
2 Controls and Countermeasures

Implementing appropriate security controls and countermeasures to
mitigate identified risks and protect the system.
3 Monitoring and Incident Response

Continuously monitoring the system for anomalies and having an
effective incident response plan to handle security breaches.

Implementing Effective System Protection
Measures
Access Controls Implementing robust authentication
mechanisms and authorization policies to
control who can access systems and data.
Encryption Protecting sensitive data by converting it

into a coded format that can only be
accessed by authorized individuals with the
correct decryption keys.
Firewalls Monitoring and controlling incoming and

outgoing network traffic to prevent
unauthorized access and detect potential
threats.
Backups and Disaster Recovery Regularly backing up data and having a plan
to restore systems and data in the event of a
disaster or security breach.
Conclusion:
In conclusion, system protection is vital for maintaining the security,
integrity, and availability of information systems. By implementing
regular updates, robust security measures, user education, strict
access controls, and reliable backup systems, organizations can
effectively safeguard against threats and ensure continuous operation.
A comprehensive approach to system protection is essential for
mitigating risks and protecting valuable data and resources.
