Security Measures Report: Preventing Risks in Digital Media

This report delves into the critical aspects of digital media security, outlining various prevention methods. It begins by explaining the importance of Transport Layer Security (TLS) and Hypertext Transfer Protocol Secure (HTTPS) in securing communication and authenticating websites. The report further emphasizes the significance of strong passwords, detailing the characteristics of a secure password and its role in preventing hacking and attacks. Additionally, it explores alternative authentication methods, such as fingerprints, patterns, one-time passwords, tokens, digital certificates, smart cards, and biometric devices, highlighting their effectiveness in enhancing security and reducing risks. The report also touches upon the cost-effectiveness of PIN codes as a security measure. This comprehensive overview aims to provide a clear understanding of the essential security measures necessary for protecting digital media and data.

Prevention methods
The various methods can be used by the company in order to prevent the
security risk. The methods are explained below:
1. TLS
The transport layered security is defined as the security which is used to
prevent the communication security over a network of computer. It is
used to secure the communication between the server and web browsers.
It is used in various applications such as email, web browsing and
others.
2. HTTPS
The hypertext transfer protocol is defined as the transport layer security
which is used to provide authentication to visit the website. It helps to
provide protection and integrity of the data which is exchanged. It is
mainly a protocol which is used to protect the communication over a
network of the computers. The HTTPS connection is mainly used for the
transaction of payments on various types of websites. It develops the
secure channel over the insecure networks (Pearce et al., 2013).
3. Strong passwords
The strong password helps to prevent the security over the networks.
The strong password has twelve characters which include alphabet,
numeric, one special character, and one capital letter. The combination
of all the characters helps to provide strong security over the networks.
