Security Awareness You Need To Know
By Denise
If we were to take a conversation about security, such as this one, and place in the context of a social setting twenty years ago, people would have thought that you were crazy. The issue of security awareness in our society has, by necessity , reached a higher level than ever. Everything from credit card fraud to spyware has consumers wondering what they need to do to protect themselves. While much of the worry is well founded the truth about what we need to do protect our assets can be a little cloudy. It's hard to differentiate between rumor and fact and most of us aren't technologically proficient enough to really understand how firewalls work or what they do for us.
Start with the software changes. Your goal is to prevent others from accessing your data remotely. A combination of firewalls and antivirus PC security software can take your sensitive information from unprotected to secure with very little effort. A firewall can be considered your first line of defense when connected to the internet. In order for information that is behind a firewall to be sent or received from your computer, permission must be granted by the firewall. You can set up your firewall to always grant access to programs you trust and always block access to programs you do not trust. You can also set the firewall to ask for your confirmation before granting access to an unknown program.
Antivirus software protects your from viruses that are transmitted over the internet and through file exchanges. A good antivirus program will continually monitor all of your file transfers. However, it is still advisable to fully scan your entire system for viruses once a week. You can schedule this scan to run automatically while you are asleep or away from home. You will also need to sign up for automatic updates to the antivirus program, as new viruses are released daily.
