There is no such things as a totally secure environment, think of a bank vault, if someone wants to get in bad enough, they probably will. The objective is to take precausions and put in place security measures to deter the act or be able to detect the attempts when it is occurring.

The same applies for any data network or IT system. The principles of technology security management aim to reduce the risk to the business to an acceptable level. It is therfore imperative to any business to have controls in place to mitigate these risks.

Technology threats can generally be catorgorised in two catorgories, benign (harmless) or malicious. Malicious threats are what need to be prevented and if present, removed. Malicious threats are designed and intended to access confidential or commercial in confidence data (hacking) they hamper ability to perform normal functions (such as denail of service attacks) or even just to annoy (adware).
