This is just a quick post about security.

In today's world and computer friendly society a layered security policy is needed to ensure safety when using computers, and connecting to the Internet.

Steps to improve security:

  • A robust Firewall, firmware and updates brought to the latest version.
  • Up to date AntiVirus software
  • Up to Date AntiSpyware software
  • Regular scans of the computer
  • Proper training of staff on potential security risk 
  • A thorough Acceptable Computer Usage policy
  • Restricted File Level access with Auditing enabled
  • Intrusion Detection/Protection System to monitor network activity
  • Restrict computer access, including using token based systems to ensure compliance
  • Strong passwords that are changed regularly
  • Checking of computer logs regularly for strange activity.

 

These are only some ways to help to protect yourself, your computer, and your data including you Client's data.

Any questions please feel free to ask below in a comment.

Have a good weekend.

David
