In the broadest sense, security involves defining the legitimate users of resources, and then imposing methods to make sure those users have access to the resources and unauthorized users do not. Information assurance is the broadest technical subcategory, although there are aspects of law and policy beyond it. Physical security is another subcategory, involving the protection of persons, places, and things from physical damage or compromise.
