Merlin Internet Services Information and Network Security Services


Everything in Information and Network Security revolves around three goals:
Confidentiality, Integrity, and Availability. Any defense you put into place links back to
one or more of these goals. If your security measures don't cover all of these goals or
they only partially cover them, you're wide open to attack.
