Four Worst Network Security Slip-ups

A couple quick tips on keeping your network secure and virus free.
  1. Not Using Strong(er) Passwords. Everyone knows they “should” be doing it.  But most don’t.  Passwords should be a minimum of 8 characters long and have  at least one uppercase, number, and a symbol.  Do it now before it’s too late.
  2. Do IT Yourself. Networking, security and servers are simply not unboxing and plugging in.  Setting things up properly, to best practice, and implementing security are crucial for network success.  Not something you can easily learn from a book.
  3. Not Staying Up-to-Date. Simply put, updates are critical to keeping a network secure.  Be it Windows updates or daily anti-virus definitions.  It needs to be done in a consistent and timely fashion.
  4. Common Sense. Safety first on the internet, take some time to learn common scams and you’ll make sure your network stays virus and spyware free.
