ELI5: Explain Like I'm 5

Differentiated security

Okay, kiddo! Imagine you have a bunch of toys, but each toy is special and different. You want to make sure that nobody takes your favorite toy, right? Well, that's what differentiated security is all about!

Just like your toys, different parts of a computer system or website are special and important. These parts might have personal information, like your address or your parents' credit card numbers. So, we need to make sure that only certain people can access these parts, and that they can't be stolen or hacked.

Differentiated security means that we put extra locks and guards on these important parts, so that only people with special permission can get in. It's like how your parents might have a special password to use the computer, or how your teacher might have a key to the classroom cupboard.

This is really important because there are some people out there who want to steal or mess with other people's information. By using differentiated security, we can keep our important things safe and make sure that only the right people have access.
