Keke Gai, Jing Yu, Liehuang Zhu · 2024
Computer infrastructure security plays a crucial role in today&s;s digital age. With the rapid development of digitization, our society relies on various computer systems and networks to support critical businesses and infrastructure. However, this comes with growing threats and risks. This article focuses on exploring computer infrastructure security and how to ensure its safety and stability. Firstly, the importance of computer infrastructure will be discussed. Infrastructure such as power grids, transportation systems, and communication networks rely on computer systems for support and management. The security of these critical systems directly impacts the normal functioning of society and the quality of people&s;s lives. Therefore, protecting the security of computer infrastructure is vital for social stability and economic prosperity. However, computer infrastructure faces various security threats. Network attackers and malicious actors utilize various techniques to disrupt and infiltrate computer systems, steal sensitive information, or cripple critical infrastructure. These threats include computer viruses, malware, phishing attacks, ransomware, and more. Additionally, hardware devices used in infrastructure may also have security vulnerabilities, making them susceptible to attacks. Hence, a series of measures need to be taken to safeguard the security of computer infrastructure.
