The evolution of the Internet obliges many organizations to set up a very developed information system to be viable. Providing their employees with all the necessary information and technological tools responds to this need for viability and sustainability, which involves regular and increased communication with their partners, suppliers, and customers.
These information systems, and therefore the Internet, contain very critical information for the progress of organizational activities. It is, therefore, essential to protect them against intrusions and unauthorized access. In this perspective, having a computer security system has become an integral component of business infrastructure. But first, let’s define some aspects of this type of security.

What is a Security System?
In general, a security system is “all the technical, organizational, and human resources necessary to preserve and guarantee the security of the company’s information system” [1]. It is above all a means of reducing the vulnerability of the information system using an exhaustive analysis of possible intrusions, then of protecting the internal and external IT environment of the company from any possible intrusion or malicious surveillance. This is usually done using powerful security software.

This results in response to basic needs with an almost zero return on investment.
