Turvallisuus: tila, jossa uhkat ja riskit ovat hallittavissa.

Security is a condition in which the threats and risks are controllable. -unofficial translation- [7]


India

Security is the quality or state of being protected from unauthorised access or uncontrolled losses or effects. [8]

Absolute security is impossible to achieve in practice and the quality of a given security system is relative. Within a state-model security system, security is a specific “state" to be preserved under various operations.

United States

Security is a condition that results from the establishment and maintenance of protective measures that enable an enterprise to perform its mission or critical functions despite risks posed by threats to its use of information systems. [9]

Protective measures may involve a combination of deterrence, avoidance, prevention, detection, recovery, and correction that should form part of the enterprise’s Risk Management approach.
