We would like to introduce to you readers 7 basic tips to help you read protect your computer network against the dangers always stalking around your computer.
1. Require users in the network to set a complex password
Internet hacking programs contain tens of thousands of universal passwords. These passworkd can be used to attack computer systems that lack high security. A password must be at least 8 characters and should not be in the dictionary. Ideally, you should use a combination of lowercase and uppercase letters to minimize the risk of hacking using popular dictionary decoders. And for optimal performance, you should combine regular characters with special characters. An ideal password can be as follows: 2B3 # N3 $.
2. Change your password frequently
Hackers can find a simple password within seconds to a few minutes. For security reasons, users may need to change their passwords at regular intervals.
3. Regularly update the virus browser
Most businesses purchase antivirus programs from leading companies such as Norton or McAfee. These killers are regularly updated with new virus lists. Businesses should regularly check for new antivirus versions and keep up to date.
4. Instruct the user about the attached files
The term inbox does not mean that it is safe for viruses. Attachments, especially executables (such as the .exe extension) can become very dangerous. Network users should be aware of these risks and avoid opening unknown originating attachments. Also, use the "preview" mode to view the mail to avoid opening emails and attachments.
5. Set up a total solution
If you want to secure your own system, do not assume that when you buy a firewall you are really safe. Firewall is an effective security but it is an access control device and will not be able to identify complex and sophisticated attacks like DDoS. Remember that no device is perfect. Think of a complete solution that includes firewall, intrusion detection and access control.
6. Regularly check the system
Do not think about setting up a security system and then let it work. Hackers regularly update technology knowledge. If you intend to rely on an ISP or hosting provider, choose reputable and highly secure providers.
7. Discard the access rights of an old employee immediately
When you ask your staff member to return the key to the office, remove them immediately from the system. Old employees are the biggest threats to the system's security
