Question

Provide an example that demonstrates the inverse relationship between security and convenience.

Answer 1

Convenience is always the opposite of security.

Nowadays people spend a lot of time on the Internet, or with computers. Some people use computers for good and some others use it for bad things.

Computers are used for many things, it is used for entertainment, work and for developing something. In the present world, there is a threat to everyone. The only thing we could do is to protect ourselves from those threats.

As people are spending a lot of time on the internet we should maintain our internet activity in a confidential manner.

People visit many websites, and people have accounts on many websites. The use of these accounts is to store important information and personalized information

If we do not protect our account with proper password our information can be stolen by some others.

Generally, we tend to create passwords that are convenient for us, i,e., easy to remember or length of a password is small and so many things.

If you want to be secure, convenience should be limited. We should maintain some standards in order to protect ourselves from being attacked.

Some times we may use remote logins, for logging into a particular website or an account. We should be very careful while doing those things. Our activity is monitored by somebody on the internet.

Minimum safety measures to be followed while logging into your accounts from other individuals phones or computers.

After logging If you forgot to log out from that phone or computer, there is a chance that your account can be used by that person.

People may prefer the same password for many other websites or accounts as it is convenient, but this not safer because If you are hacked then there might be a chance of stealing all your information from all other websites.

Convenience is better but it should not a problem. At the same time, security should be but in a convenient manner.

Thank you.
