Security protection includes;

Intrusion Detection & Prevention

Intrusion detection & prevention is a programme that has been designed to detect unwanted attempts at accessing, manipulating, and/or disabling your computer systems. These attempts may take the form of attacks, as examples, by hackers, malware and/or even disgruntled employees.

Firewall

A firewall is designed to block unauthorized access to your network while permitting authorized communications. A firewall is configured to permit, deny, encrypt, decrypt, or proxy all (in and out) computer traffic between different domains based upon a set of pre determined rules and other criteria.

Virtual Private Network (VPN)

A virtual private network (VPN) is a network that uses a public telecommunication infrastructure, such as the Internet, to provide remote offices or individual users with secure access to their organization's network. A virtual private network can be contrasted with an expensive system of owned or leased lines that can only be used by one organization. The goal of a VPN is to provide the organization with the same capabilities, but at a much lower cost. 

Anti-virus

Anti-virus (or antivirus) software is used to prevent, detect, and remove malware, including computer viruses, worms, and trojan horses. Such programs may also prevent and remove adware, spyware, and other forms of malware.

In the field of computer security, phishing is the criminally fraudulent process of attempting to acquire sensitive information such as usernames, passwords and credit card details by masquerading as a trustworthy entity in an electronic communication. Communications purporting to be from popular social web sites, auction sites, online payment processors or IT administrators are commonly used to lure the unsuspecting public.

Anti-phishing software will highlight suspect emails and other content to users warning them of the pending threat. 

Anti-spyware

Spyware is a type of malware that is installed on computers and that collects information about users without their knowledge. The presence of spyware is typically hidden from the user and can often be downloaded and installed without knowledge when it is hidden within other software applications (common sources are free screen savers, free video/music files etc).
