Hello there! Glad I still got the breath to post here, Thank You God. As I promise, I will share anything that i learn about network security with u all, even though whats my sharing was not so brilliant, at least we have something valued to gain, which is KNOWLEDGE!
Ok, as we know, computer security is a rapidly growing market as the world is gradually becoming united, in other words, globalization. World economy heavily depends on the usage of internet, albeit addressing the internet as a global village. Many people use the internet to promote their business ventures, products and even ideas, to the masses.
Therefore, the first day in Mr Zaki class, I realized the importance of network security. Just imagine, if I were to start up my own business and someone hack into my account and change my entire product, how would my business be? Surely, it would be down in the drains, isn't it..?
Ok, so what is network security or computer security?
Network security , i simplified as:

Network security , i simplified as:
- How we protect the network
- Do not let the resources of our network accessed by hackers
- Consistent monitoring and measurement of its effectiveness (or lack) combined together.
The first is – small homes
- A good network security is by having a basic firewall (COMODO is good).
- What about Antivirus software? For me, the best is Kaspersky, but there are others like AVG, McAfee and Norton Anti Virus.
- Use a robust password when using internet, k
- Passwords, use them for all accounts
- Tell your friends about network security!!
The Second is Medium business
- U need a strong firewall
- Strong Antivirus k (Kaspersky) and Internet Security SoftwareUse strong passwords like (sofia86heheheutem) and change it every fortnight
- Use a robust password wen using wireless
- Use a network monitor
- Tell ur administrator to regularly check k..
The Third is Large Businesses
- A good n strong firewall n proxy
- Again, a good antivirus is suffice and internet security software
- Very similar to medium business but add these 3 eh..
- Security fencing – to mark the company’s perimeter
- Fire extinguisher – for fire sensitive area
- Security guard – to maximize physical security ok
The fourth is school
- A good firewall and flexi proxy to allow different users to access
- Strong antivirus
- Children’s Internet Protection Act – very very important
- Supervision from teaches and librarians
The last one is large government
- Government needs a good protection right !! So –
- Need a very very good firewall and superb proxy
- Not only a strong antivirus but a strong encryption
- Whitelist authorized wireless connection only and others block
- All network must be placed in secure zones
- Put all serves in DMZ
- And the most important is security fencing – mark the perimeter and set wireless range..
With that, I hope we know one way or another to protect ourselves from those bad hackers and crackers!!!
