Explanation

Digital security (also called logical security) encompasses software-based controls that protect systems and data, including authentication mechanisms, passwords, encryption, and access controls. Strong passwords and user authentication are enforced in software/OS layers, making them digital security measures. Physical security involves locks, badges, and barriers. Least privilege is an access-control principle. User education refers to training people - not to authentication mechanisms themselves.
