Is simply knowing how to do these things enough? No—there’s more to it than that.

  Digital security is the protection of your digital identity - the network or Internet equivalent of your physical identity. Digital security includes the tools you use to secure your identity, assets and technology in the online and mobile world.

   

  These tools include anti-virus software, Web services, biometrics and secure personal devices you carry with you every day. Secure personal devices such as a smart card-based USB token, the SIM card in your cell phone, the secure chip in your contactless payment card or e-passport are digital security devices because they give you the freedom to communicate, travel, shop, bank and work using your digital identity in a way that is convenient, enjoyable and secure.

In any society, there are individuals who steal, deface, or disrupt other people. The same is true for the digital community. It is not enough to trust other members in the community for our own safety. In our own homes, we put locks on our doors and fire alarms in our houses to provide some level of protection. The same must be true for the digital security. We need to have virus protection, backups of data, and surge control of our equipment. As responsible citizens, we must protect our information from outside forces that might cause disruption or harm.
