Passive Security

Passive security generally refers to a set of measures or systems designed to prevent or deter unauthorized access or harm without requiring active intervention or monitoring. It focuses on creating barriers or implementing safeguards to protect against potential threats or risks. Passive security measures can include physical safeguards, such as locks, gates, fences,surveillance cameras and alarm systems, which act as deterrents and make it more difficult for unauthorized individuals to gain access. In the digital realm, passive security measures may involve implementing strong passwords, encryption, firewalls, and other protective mechanisms to secure data and computer systems. These passive security measures are intended to provide a baseline level of protection and reduce vulnerabilities. However, it’s important to note that passive security should be complemented with active security measures, such as regular monitoring, threat assessments, and incident response, to ensure comprehensive protection against potential threats.
