Failure to Secure your computer system or network WILL eventually lead to catastrophic problems. The massive rise in organised network crime and it's implications cannot be ignored.

The Threat

Bad security exposes you and/or your business to all sorts of difficulties. Some have legal implications, like allowing your client's data held on your system to be compromised.

These threats come in two principal forms.

By unauthorised access we mean any kind of access to a computer system without the permission of either the rightful owner or the person in charge of the computer system. Very often, hackers access a server by cracking its password authentication system. This can be done remotely by 'packet sniffing' (monitoring the ports of a servers, monitoring and then analysing the data flow) buffer overflow are common techniques used for unauthorised access People can gain unwanted access to your computer using a variety of methods.

2. Software attacks using Virus, Trojan or other Malware.

A 'virus' as an (often surprisingly small) piece of computer code that will attempt to execute its own intructions to your computer. Unlike early viruses, that were very destructive and designed to cause damage, almost all modern malware is designed to extract and transmit information from your data to another destination on the internet.
Emails are still the commonest source of viruses on the internet.
Ensure you have all anti-malware safeguards on your equipment properly installed and configured.
