Cybersecurity - What Is It?
Cybersecurity is the art of protecting networks, devices, and data from unauthorized access or criminal use by promoting the best practices of ensuring confidentiality, integrity, and availability of information. Nearly everything we use in our daily lives relies on computers and the internet for realtime communications such as email, texting, & instant messaging; the entertainment sector such as interactive video games, social media, & apps; transportation infrastructures including navigation systems; shopping services to include online shopping & credit cards; medical sector such as medical equipment & medical records; and so on.
How often do you interact with technology daily? How much of your personal information is stored either on your own computer, smartphone, tablet or on someone else's system (the cloud)?
Fail Safe Tech provides you with the expertise to protect yourself against cyberattacks. Effectively defending yourself from malicious actors starts with understanding the risks associated with cyber activity, what some of the basic cybersecurity terms mean, along with what measures you can take to protect yourself.
It is important to apply the latest software patches for all software so that attackers cannot take advantage of known problems or vulnerabilities. Most computers leverage automatic updates, which generally help keep a computer's operating system up to date with the most up to date software and security patches.
Most out of the box devices come with either a generic default username & password or none at all. While the device may be protected with a password, anyone can lookup the defaults for the device, having immediate and readily available access, susceptible to the endless possibilities of malicious actors. Choosing a password or passphrase that is difficult for an attacker to guess increases a systems overall security. Consider using complex passwords or passphrases that consist of 16 characters, and use a combination of both upper and lower case alphanumeric characters in addition to special characters.
Even the best antivirus softwares can not protect you from new and advanced threats. Choosing a reputable antivirus software application is vital for adequate protective measures against known malicious threats. To ensure maximum protection against the latest threats, the antivirus software should be able to automatically detect, quarantine, and remove various types of malware.
Your turn key hardware firewall solution for residential, small business and small office/home office needs. While some device operating systems include a firewall, its often a software firewall that offers basic access controls. Firewalls, in general, may be able to prevent some types of attack vectors by blocking malicious traffic before it can enter a computer system, and by restricting unnecessary outbound communications; however a combination of a software firewall, which is included with many commerical off the shelf operating systems and separate hardware firewalls, enhances overall cybersecurity, with the goal to minimize the risk of unauthorized access to physical and logical systems, enabling further control on how, what, where, who and when resources are accessed.
