Secure vs. Protect

The key difference is that while security measures are focused on external threats to a system, protection is concerned with those that are internal.

As verbs the difference between secure and protect is that secure is to make safe; to relieve from apprehensions of, or exposure to, danger; to guard; to protect while protect is to keep safe; to defend; to guard; to prevent harm coming to.

As an adjective secure is free from attack or danger; protected.
