Security management

Security Management for networks is different for all kinds of situations. A small home or an office would only require basic security while large businesses will require high maintenance and advanced software and hardware to prevent malicious attacks from hacking and spamming.

Small Homes

• A basic firewall like COMODO Internet Security or a unified threat management system.
• For Windows users, basic Antivirus Software like AVG Antivirus, ESET NOD32 Antivirus, McAfee, or Norton. An anti-spyware program such as Windows Defender or Spybot would also be a good idea. There are many other types of antivirus or antispyware programs out there to be considered.
• When using a wireless connection, use a robust password. Also try and use the strongest security supported by your wireless devices, such as WPA or WPA2.
• Use passwords for all accounts.
• Have multiple account per family member. Disable the guest account (Control Panel> Administrative Tools> Computer Management> Users).
• Raise awareness about information security to children
