Answer 1

1  Computer ergonomics is the way we interact with computers and learn how to interact in a broad sense.

Health issues: pain in back and neck, ocular fatigue, tunnel syndrome. I can avoid them by walking off the computer every 45 minutes, looking in the window, not spending much time at the computer, doing physical exercises.

2 The groups are management security (how to manage security measures within the computer), operational security (policies, terms and conditions, etc.), physical security (how to prevent physical access to the computer).

3 Malware, viruses, backdoors.
