What is Computer security ?
Computer security is the process of preventing and detecting unauthorized use of your computer. Prevention measures help you to stop unauthorized users (also known as "intruders") from accessing your computer and more importantly your data.
Why Should I care about computer security ?
We use computers for everything from banking and investing to shopping and communicating with others through email or chat programs. Although you may not consider your communications "top secret," you probably do not want strangers reading your email, using your computer to attack other systems, sending forged email from your computer, or examining personal information stored on your computer (such as financial statements).
If you have more than one computer connected in the home, or if you have a small-office network, it is important to protect every computer. The best way combat intruders is through the use of a firewall.
What is a firewall ?
A firewall creates a wall between you and the nasties that lurk around the Internet.
You should have a hardware firewall (such as a router) to protect your network, but you should also use a software firewall on each computer to help prevent the spread of a virus in your network if one of the computers becomes infected.
What is an Internet Content Filter ?
And in this same way...Internet content filters can help you manage your family’s online environment to provide a safe and enjoyable online experience. Installing an internet content filter reduces the risk of your family coming into contact with something upsetting or dangerous online. Internet content filters offer a range of different functions to help block, screen and monitor unwelcome material.
