Post Re: Improving computer security
Hello friends

Naturally, with the growing benefits of technology, the Internet and network configurations comes the growing danger of security breaches, identity theft and cyber crimes. Unfortunately, electronic theft is becoming a greater danger to many businesses across the globe, so how do business owners keep their data safe and secure? One way to keep sensitive information secure is to constantly improve network security and to stay ahead of the game.
Every day we hear that computer viruses, hacker, and other security breaches have found new ways to steal identities, financial records and other information we thought previously secure. Because of the increase in such cyber crimes, data protection laws have tightened and the punishments hardened. With this comes the need for all businesses to take data security very seriously.
It is extremely important to improve network security for your business on a regular basis. Aside from encrypted pages and passwords, there is a multitude of ways to improve network security for your business which include firewalls and other infrastructure protective measures. Education, information and action are key elements to improving any network's security.
Before a business can adequately protect its network, it is important to understand that there is no such thing as a completely secure system, as technology is always changing. However, to stay one step ahead and keep the network secure, business owners and their IT department should learn and understand any and all risks associated with security standards and network systems.

Thanks for sharing us............

# Make sure you have a security policy in place -— The security policy is the formal statement of rules on how security will be implemented in your organization. A security policy should define the level of security and the roles and responsibilities of users, administrators and managers.
# Make sure all of your operating systems and applications are patched with the latest service packs and hotfixes -— Keeping your systems patched will close vulnerabilities that can be exploited by hackers.
# Keep an inventory of your network devices -— Develop and maintain a list of all hardware/software components, and understand which default software installations provide weak security configurations.
# Scan TCP/UDP services -— Turn off or remove unnecessary services. Unneeded services can be the entry point attackers use to gain control of your system.
# Establish a strong password policy -— Weak passwords could mean a compromised user account.
# Don't trust code from non-trusted sources.
# Block certain e-mail attachment types -— This list includes .bas, .bat, .exe and .vbs.
# Don't provide more rights to system resources than necessary -— Implement the concept of "least privilege".

Have a nice day

I recommend Avast because it is free and very reliable. I have tried mcfee and Nod they were not as good as Avast.

Network security can always be improved. After understanding the risks involved in any network, network operators should be educated and informed. It is important for network operators to keep an eye out for operational anomalies. Any anomaly is usually an indication that something is wrong and there may be a security breach. In addition to educating operators, it is important for operators to know and understand the risks associated with your existing security standards. Risk mitigation is essential in improving network security.

Thanks for all friends
