Securing a computer system is a complex issue touching several disciplines, departments, and cultures. Investments in these technologies should be followed up with investments in personnel training, strict policy enforcement, and periodic review of the overall security policy. Computer security and resilience is an exciting topic because the challenges and the technology evolve on a daily basis, where the skills needed to keep up with this rapidly expanding field are varied and provide a platform on which a graduate can build a career in any area of the computing industry. Computer security could be seen as a subfield of security engineering, which looks at broader security issues.
