As our reliance on network technology
within our businesses continues to grow, the importance of maintaining a secure
network continues to grow as well. Every day there are more people creating more
viruses, malware applications, and hacks that seek to compromise your network and
bring your business to a screeching halt. Are you taking the necessary steps to
protect against these threats?
Maintaining proper network security begins with having the right hardware in place.
A robust firewall that receives constant updates to protect against the latest threats
is a must. If your firewall is not updated properly it cannot protect your business
or your data from potential attackers.
Your next level of defense is at your server. Having the proper security precautions
in place such as proper file permissions, user password requirements, and program
access restrictions can help prevent security breaches before they happen.
The final piece of the security puzzle is at the user level. Having up to date virus
protection on all PC’s is extremely important. Equally as important is training
your users about creating and maintaining secure passwords, what programs and files
are safe to download and install, and which aren’t. And in some extreme cases, blocking
users from certain websites if necessary.
