CompuAid - Security

Security

Security should be everyone's first and foremost concern. The world has grown dependant on computer and networking systems. Cyber attacks, viruses, trojan horses, and password theft cost billions each year. Make no assumption... these cyber criminals are extremely intelligent. It's not a question of guaranteeing yourself complete immunity (because it has not and probably will not ever be possible.) It's more a question of how you can minimize or block 99% of these attacks. Most home users are not even protected against half of these attacks. This also holds true for most business who do not have IT pros managing their networks.

Lets face it. An office with 10-15 computers can't afford (or it is not practical) to have a full time IT Pro maintaining their systems. Therefore, most of these businesses/offices rely on the office "power user" (that know-it-all person) to keep their computers/networks running. But how reliable is this? Does this person understand the latest security threats? More importantly, does this person know how to protect you against the latest security threats? CompuAid has RemoteAid...CompuAid can monitor your computer/network remotely without the cost of an office visit. In most instances CompuAid can monitor your network/computer bi-weekly for the latest spyware, malware, and security threats for as little as $ 70.00 per month.

	Are Your Files Safe?

	Is the information on your computer safe? How is it protected? These are questions that should concern most people. True, the little old lady from Pasadena using her computer for email probably isn't very concerned about someone peering into her computer. But in the real world most of us do not have this luxury. Most of us have private information stored in their computer. Information that we would probably wouldn't want to be shared with everyone.		Whether it's a credit card number or a proprietary office memo hackers can get it! There are trojan horses that will read your keystrokes. This means no password is safe no matter what type of encryption is used.		Other viruses will allow hackers to look into your computer just like if they were in the room with you. Anti-Virus software is one of the best ways to secure your system! However, Anti-Virus software won't do it all! You also need a firewall to help add security to your system. It not only monitors incoming traffic, it also monitors outgoing traffic. If you think outgoing traffic is important.. better think again! Click here for more details.
