text: **6.1 Content Manager OnDemand security overview**
  
  The amount of security that is employed by an organization varies by organization and is 
  normally proportional to the cost of data loss because of security leaks or other issues. 
  
  For any system, the first layer of security is its environment. Several attributes are included in 
  a secure environment: 
  
  (cid:2) Physical security: Controlling physical access to the system and ensuring that the system 
  is protected from both natural and man-made disasters. 
  
  (cid:2) Data security: Controlling access to online data by using both authentication and 
  
  authorization techniques; controlling access to offline data, including all backup copies of 
  the data, data storage sites, and encryption of the backup copies of data. 
  
  (cid:2) Personnel security: Hiring trusted employees, limiting employee access based on 
  employee role, and redundancy. 
  
  Although environmental security is beyond the scope of this book, it is important to be aware 
  of and prepare for security in these areas. 
  
  This section describes what Content Manager OnDemand can provide from a security 
  perspective. 
  
  Content Manager OnDemand is a flexible and scalable system. This flexibility allows the 
  deployment of multiple security features by using multiple methodologies. The descriptions 
  within this chapter are examples of the available components and their usage to create a 
  secure environment.
