security protocols

Digital defense rules

Security protocols are standardized procedures and rules designed to protect systems, data, or communications from unauthorized access or attack.

In computing, they're formal specifications governing secure data exchange: The server uses SSL/TLS security protocols.

More broadly, the term covers any systematic protective measures: Airport security protocols have tightened since 2001.

Organizations develop security protocols for everything from password requirements to emergency evacuations.
