Internet security is a branch of computer security specifically related to the Internet, often involving browser security but also network security on a more general level, as it applies to other applications or operating systems as a whole. Its objective is to establish rules and measures to use against attacks over the Internet.^[1] The Internet represents an insecure channel for exchanging information leading to a high risk of intrusion or fraud, such as phishing^[2], online viruses, trojans, worms and more.

Many methods are used to protect the transfer of data, including encryption and from-the-ground-up engineering.^[3] The current focus is on prevention as much as on real time protection against well known and new threats.
