Risk to business
Your IT system, and the information you hold on it, is valuable. Accidental or malicious damage is at best inconvenient, and at worst disastrous.
Simply using a computer to hold and process business information creates a security risk. Connecting the system to the Internet increases the threats to which it is exposed and the potential damage from a security breach.
This briefing covers:
- The basic security features every computer system needs.
- The additional security required for systems linked to the Internet.
- Assessing how secure you are.
