Security programs are structured plans designed to protect an organization's assets, including data, personnel, and physical property. These programs typically include policies, procedures, and technologies that help identify, assess, and mitigate risks. They aim to prevent unauthorized access, data breaches, and other security incidents. Effective security programs often involve training employees on best practices, conducting regular security assessments, and implementing security measures like firewalls and encryption. Organizations may also comply with regulations such as GDPR or HIPAA to ensure they meet legal requirements for data protection and privacy.
