Processor, the tech support trade magazine, interviewed yours truly about the latest security threats to IT networks. As a computer security expert, I definitely don’t take this inquiry lightly since companies depend on having non-intrusive daily operations.
Most people think about viruses as the number one threat towards company and home computer networks. Viruses and spyware are big threats, but in the Processor article, Inside Today’s Biggest Threats, I talk about some less mentioned, surprising security threats. Feel free to read the article to guard yourself against these IT risks.
Overall, here are the precautions you should take to protect yourself against todays’ biggest IT threats:
- You should have good software to protect against viruses and spyware.
- Periodically change the passwords of your computers and servers.
- Know who has remote access to your network.
- Firewalls and spam blockers should be set up.
