In this blog post, we discuss some of the basic terminologies of computer security. We plan on posting a computer security terminology blog post once a month.
Antivirus Software
This software is designed to detect and block attacks from malware (malicious software). Malware is a program that causes damage to devices on a network such as computers. Viruses, worms, zombies, Trojans and Spybots are types of malware. Some operating systems have built-in antivirus software, Corp Networking uses ESET’s award-winning cloud-powered antivirus software.
Firewalls
This is a type of software that blocks unexpected connections coming into the network. You will find most operating systems such as Windows, Mac, Android and Linux use a firewall.
Access Levels
If a business has staff using devices such as computers on the same network, to help keep the business secure you can control the level of access people have to the network. This includes which users are able to download software or make system changes.
