Network security covers a variety of computer networks, both public and private, that are used in everyday jobs: conducting transactions and communications among businesses, government agencies and individuals. Networks can be private, such as within a company, and others which might be open to public access.
STRIDE is a model for identifying computer security threats [1] developed by Praerit Garg and Loren Kohnfelder at Microsoft. [2] It provides a mnemonic for security threats in six categories. [3] The threats are: Spoofing; Tampering; Repudiation; Information disclosure (privacy breach or data leak) Denial of service; Elevation of privilege [4]
The following design principles are laid out in the paper: Economy of mechanism: Keep the design as simple and small as possible. Fail-safe defaults: Base access decisions on permission rather than exclusion. Complete mediation: Every access to every object must be checked for authority. Open design: The design should not be secret.
Microsegmentation is a network security approach that enables security architects to construct network security zones boundaries per machine in data centers and cloud deployments in order to segregate and secure workloads independently. [1] [2] It is now also used on the client network as well as the data center network.

Security patterns can be applied to achieve goals in the area of security. All of the classical design patterns have different instantiations to fulfill some information security goal: such as confidentiality, integrity, and availability. Additionally, one can create a new design pattern to specifically achieve some security goal.
The following outline is provided as an overview of and topical guide to computer security: . Computer security (also cybersecurity, digital security, or information technology (IT) security) is the protection of computer software, systems and networks from threats that can lead to unauthorized information disclosure, theft or damage to hardware, software, or data, as well as from the ...
