Hardware Security


6.     What is hardware security?
Ans: The security given to the various hardware tools or equipment from being lost or damaged due to accidental or intentional harm is known as hardware security.

7.     List some of the hardware security measures.
Ans: Some of the hardware security measures are:
i) Regular maintenance
ii) Insurance Policy
iii) Power Regulator Device
iv) Fire detectors
v) Protection from theft

8.     What is software security?
Ans: The security given to the software and data from being lost or damaged due to accidental or intentional harm is called software security.

9.     List some of the software security measures.
Ans: Some of the software security measures are:
i) Backup
ii) Scandisk
iii) Defragmentation
iv) Password

10.  What is voltage regulator device? Give example.
Ans: A voltage regulator device is an electrical regulator device designed to automatically maintain a constant voltage level.
E.g.: Spike guard, Volt guard, etc.

11.  What is the function of voltage regulators?
Ans: The voltage regulator automatically maintains a constant voltage level.

12.  What are power protection devices? Give examples.
Ans: The device that provides clean AC power to sensitive electrical equipment are called power protection devices. Examples are: UPS, Volt Guard, Spike guard, etc.

13.  Why is power protection device needed in a computer system?
Ans: Power protection device is needed in a computer system to protect the computer system from damage and expensive data loss.

14.  What is UPS?
Ans: A UPS is a device that allows computer to keep running for at least a short time when the primary power source is lost. It provides continuous power supply to the computer system and protects them from power surge and voltage fluctuation.

15.  What is importance of UPS in computer security system?
Ans: The importance of UPS in computer security system is that it controls fluctuation of electric voltage and provides enough backup electric power to the computer system when there is power failure.

16.  Why do the computer system need regular maintenance?
Ans: Computer system need regular maintenance to keep the computer hardware in good working condition and it also helps to find out problems in hardware and correct the problems before they cause several damages.

17.  What should be done to protect computer system from fire and theft?
Ans: Fireguards and fire extinguisher should be installed to protect computer system from fire. Alarms, security lighting and closed circuit television cameras should be used to protect computer system from theft.

18.  What is surge protector?
Ans: A device that shields computer and other electronic devices from surges in electric power or transient voltage, that flow from the power supply.
