X. DEFENSES AGAINST DISADVANTAGES OF THE COMPUTER
Dispersion, which is designed to minimize losses in the event of deliberate or accidental threat, can be used. Duplication is designed to ensure that the system survives damage to any individual part. Duplication is also the fundamental method of detecting errors in processing. Defense in depth is designed to make the attacker overcome a series of barriers before he can damage any vital part of the system.
In addition, most companies have computer auditors who ensure the integrity and accuracy of the organizations records, protect and conserve the organization’s assets and prevent fraud, theft and error. These auditors also ensure that systems will survive the hazards to which they are exposed.
