Computer Security

Today our computer systems are under attack from so many different sources. A well designed system should protect us by using the the following components:

• Firewall to protect from hackers, and Internet access control
• Antivirus to protect us from virus attacks and set to work transparently
• Content Filtering for eliminating unwanted Internet content and email content from coming in or going out
• Physical Security against such mishaps as theft, vandalism, etc. and also disasters both natural or man-made such as fire, flood, earthquake, etc.
• Proper Internal Safeguards such as server based requirements for passwords. We may further need to protect other sensitive data by using sophisticated encryption techniques.
• Human error an often overlooked subject but proper training and other measures are necessary to complete the last part of security.
