Security and Privacy: Understanding Interdependence and Implementation

This report provides a comprehensive overview of security and privacy, defining each term and outlining their respective objectives. It explores the core principles of both security, including promoting data accessibility and protecting confidential information, and privacy, emphasizing individual rights concerning personal information. The report highlights the interdependent relationship between security and privacy, emphasizing that privacy cannot be achieved without security. It further discusses how security ensures confidentiality, integrity, and availability of information, while privacy focuses on the fair and legal processing of data.
