Being able to use computers via a network when you are in
another part of the office or even another part of the country is fine, but how
can you be sure that the computers are secure? The first thing you must
understand is that you should not let the stress and anxiety, prevent you from
using these programs and tools that will help make your life easier at work. In
the same way that you would not stay home to avoid a burglary taking place in
your home, so you should not let the fear of unauthorized access to your
computer network, you off.
Ways in which you can stay safe:
You must ensure that all your programs and firewall security
update, and it includes not only the programs used for remote access, but also
Internet connections, the operating system and messaging clients such as email
and instant messaging. Most software programmers provide patches and free
updates for their software every time a weakness is discovered in their
program.
Making use of security software:
No computer system will be secured without the addition of a
good anti -virus program, and you do not always have to pay money for them,
there are many good free anti -virus programs can be found on the Internet.
Enabling automatic updates are a means by which to keep your anti -virus update
programs against some of the most recent threats.
A method of staying safe is one that is often overlooked by
many people, and that is the need to be educated about some of the threats that
may affect your computer network. So when it comes to passwords, it is also
essential to have a strong password and safest, who cannot be easily guessed by
a stranger. It should also go without saying that you should not give your
password to anyone, also avoid downloading programs or links opening e -mails
that you are not 100% sure.
Some of the biggest security holes are down for people who
actually work for the company, rather than an outside source. Therefore, it is
essential that security passwords are changed every time someone leaves the
company, especially if they leave your company to join one of your competitors.
Changing the security settings will prevent them from having access to
sensitive information that can be useful to their new employers, which is
something that could damage your business.
