Fundamentals of InfoSecintermediate
A security product can replace the continuing work of managing people, technology, and the operating environment.
Answer
false
Explanation
### Why this is right
The statement is false because the review describes computer security as a process, not a product. A security product can support that process, but it cannot replace ongoing attention to people, technology, and environment.
### The concept
Security controls need to be selected, configured, used, and reviewed. Human actions and environmental conditions can weaken even well-designed technical safeguards.
### Watch out
The phrase “security product” can make protection sound complete once something is purchased. The review rejects that one-time view.
### Terms
- **Control**: A safeguard or procedure intended to reduce a security risk.
### Remember
A product can be part of security, but security itself requires continuing work.
