<div><font face="Helvetica" size="2" color="#333333"><span style="font-size:9pt;">Security is a widespread and growing concern that covers all areas of society: business, domestic, financial, government, and so on. In fact, the so-called information society
is increasingly dependent on a wide range of information systems whose mission is critical, such as air traffic control systems, financial systems, or public health systems. The potential losses that are faced by businesses and organizations that rely on all
these systems, both hardware and software, therefore signify that it is crucial for information systems to be properly secured from the outset.</span></font></div>
