Computer and network security is not represented in Gattaca. The movie does not depict a computer network system requiring security measures or being vulnerable to remote attacks. One area from the film where this could be addressed is the genetic databases, which are widely alluded to throughout. Every person, "valid" and "in-valid" alike, has genetic information on file and is accessible by the database at any time. It is conceivable that such a database would require a layer of security to protect the genetic privacy of each character, but such protection is not explicitly mentioned in the movie. Aside from this one potential circumstance, computer and network security is absent in Gattaca.Â
