The best way to protect data is to control access of
the data, most often through passwords
Other security measures include using ID cards,
firewalls, antivirus software, selective hiring
practices, and data backups
Biometric security measures
examine a
fingerprint, a voice pattern, or the iris or retina of the
eye and compare them against employee records
