PREVENTIVE MAINTENANCE: Your Seven Step Program! Follow these couple steps to get your computer almost 100% secure from outside intruders, viruses, bugs, or worms: A) Train end-users. Many admins have been unpleasantly surprised by users that know just enough to be dangerous. They open up attachments, download stuff from infected Web sites, or bring their infected laptops in and hook it up to your clean network. B) Anti-virus software on EVERY machine, desktop and laptops. C) Scan your networks on a very regular basis for vulnerabilities, with a really good database that gets updated by experts. D) Do not hook up an unpatched system to the Internet. E) Update and patch systems on a frequent basis. Make sure your VPN's are safe by protecting telecommuters. F) A Firewall between your network and the Net is a must-have piece of your layered protection. G) Formulate, Implement and Verify security policies. Enforce these rules for all end-users. Get management buy-in to make sure you get compliance. H) Do not open any emails from people you do not know. Viruses usually travel through attachments on emails and when you open them, your computer becomes a target. |
