Computer security instills requirements on computers that are different from most system requirements because they take the form of constraints on what computers aren’t supposed to do. This makes computer security challenging because it is hard just to make computer programs do everything they are designed to do correctly.

We really need to overhaul our corporate information security strategy. I’m concerned that our data is vulnerable to attacks from the outside. Our network just isn’t secure.
So I’ve been taking some time to learn about Payment Card Industry Data Security Standards, to see if there;s a way I can convince my boss of its importance. Why is it that the idiots always end up in charge?
Naturally they’ll all be pointing the finger at me if we have a major breach, despite their refusal to implement the changes I’m asking for. Sh*t rolls down hill.

It’s fallen to me, as usual, to fix this. I’m researching What Data Security Is as we speak, trying to find a way to get it through management’s thick skulls.
The squeaky wheel gets the grease, and I’ll be the one on the hot seat if a breach ever does occur, so there’s not much choice in the matter.

One of the best way to keep yourself safe from thieves online would be to get the right protection. Using a combination of firewall, antivirus and antispyware you’re basically elminating 99% of possible threats. So basically getting the right internet security software would be ideal but you still need to make sure it includes an antiphising feature in order to avoid bogus Webpages. Phishing sites are exactly like your typical Websites however they are asking for your personal data in order to steal it. Don’t fall for those.

If you are involved in Internet security then it is good practice to stay up to date on the latest phishing scams. You can then warn others about the latest attempts to exploit others. One of the best ways to stay up to date is to visit a website that contains a list of phishing websites. There are several of these that you can reference. There is always a lag between the reporting and posting but it is a good way to stay informed about the latest threats.
