Security Management
The information and confidential data stored in the system is protected by the operating system and block the system by giving strong authorized keys to the user securing the system from malware attack. The operating system acts as supervisor mode and gives the system a strongly protected firewall. OS handle and rectify the errors as soon as possible without any difficulty.
