Tech/Engineering - IT (Information Technology)
Italian term or phrase: salvaguardia
What would be the meaning of salvaguardia in this context? Is it distinct from sicurezza?

"Inoltre, il mondo open è estremamente interessante, ma in certi ambiti come quello bancario in cui la sicurezza e la salvaguardia diventano fattori assolutamente premianti, avere alle spalle una garanzia di affidabilità, robustezza ed efficienza ci è sembrato importante."

thank you

safeguard


Explanation:
Not sure how to explain it.
Sicurezza has a more materialistic meaning.
As an example a bank can give security by ensuring that your account is kept safe from malignent actions,
while safeguard could be making sure that your personal details or information are protected.

it really is very similar to the difference between security and safeguard in English.

protection/safeguard


Explanation:
I agree with translating "salvaguardia" into "safeguard" but I would like to offer more details on the distinction of these words in your context.

In English "security" and "safeguard" can be synonyms that mean "precautionary methods/actions".

In this case, I think that they are using the two words to mean as follows:

"sicurezza" --> security to mean "precautions that prevent unintended and unauthorized use"

"salvaguardia" --> "safeguard" means "maintain integrity of the data"
