Your Need for Security.
"Organizations of all sizes - and
even home computer users - are likely to have sensitive data
that must never be available to others. Financial data - your
accounting data, personal finance data files, and so on - certainly
falls into this category. But your computer might also be the
repository for marketing plans, trade secrets, medical history,
diaries, phone books, and similar information.
Two popular trends in computing - interconnected computers
(on a local area network or on the Internet) and portable computers
- put this data at risk. If someone can obtain a file by downloading
it from your computer or by borrowing ( or stealing) your portable
computer, they will know your secrets."
