5 Ways To Protect Your Server From Networking Attacks

How To No Comments

We live in an age of near constant network vulnerability. Unfortunately, our reliance on online resources also happens to be our greatest weakness, which means that there is nothing more important than IT security for tech and Internet businesses.
It is not just hacking attacks which can pose a threat, because disaster can strike in a hundred different ways. Whilst the majority of enterprises focus their IT security on network invasion from hostile sources, it can be as dangerous to disregard the possibility of fires, floods, system failures, and hacking from the inside. Here are five ways that you can protect your server from networking attacks.
Conduct Inventories – this is something all network managers should do on a regular basis. If you do not know which tech resources could be lost, there is no real way to assess the extent of the damage in the wake of a meltdown.
Prioritise Assets – once an inventory has identified all servers, you need to prioritise them according to the needs of your business. This step is designed to make it clear which assets are most valuable, so that you can get them back up and running as soon as possible, after an attack.
Perform Scans – this is another step which network managers should already be familiar with. The best way to perform scans is to schedule them for the end of the day, so that disruption to staff is minimised. If security issues are flagged, take the necessary time and care needed to assess the threat.
Integrate Security – unfortunately, IT security is no one time job. It is something which should be seamlessly integrated into your online operations. It is important to deal with update requirements in a timely fashion – resist the temptation to push them to the side, to be handled at a later date.
IT Security Testing – There are many IT security/ethical hacking companies that can offer a range of services from an annual vulnerability scan to a full penetration test. Services like these can prevent loss of data and reputation damage, by pro actively identifying security threats.

How to find and remove duplicate files from PC uplicate files can cause all kinds of problems on your computer, taking up precious storage room, confusing your photo or media manager apps, and generally getting in the way of searches and other operations when you'd rather they didn't. You don't have to accept duplicate files as an inevitability of running a PC, though: Here's how to get rid of them. Duplicate files can crop up for all kinds of reasons: Maybe you downloaded a file, forgot it was there, and then downloaded it again; maybe you copied a folder of images and then never got around to getting rid of the originals. Whatever the reason, they clog up your disk space and shouldn't be left to gather dust. For the purposes of this guide we're going to use DupeGuru-it's Lifehacker's pick as the best duplicate file finder for Windows, and it's available for Mac and Linux as well. If you're not taken with DupeGuru, then some of the best al...

iPhone 7 and iPhone 7 Plus review: The best iPhones Apple has made

iPhone 7 and iPhone 7 Plus review: The best iPhones Apple has made 's tough meeting expectations years after year. And yet, Apple keeps doing it, although no longer as effortlessly as it would do earlier in this decade. The company launched the iPhone 7 and the iPhone 7 Plus on October 7 in the Indian market, a month after the global announcement of the two phones. These are the phones that look like incremental update to the iPhone 6S and the iPhone 6S Plus. But looks can be deceiving. And they surely are in this case. Of late, the iPhone is facing tough challenge from others in the market. The Galaxy S7 arguably has a better design. The Samsung phone also has better screen and, in most cases, better camera. Google's Nexus phones have better software. The HTC offers better sound in its high-end phones. The Sony phones are waterproof. All of this puts the iPhone at a back-foot. The good thing is that Apple knows these challenges and is meeting them head-on with t...
