On a personal or organizational level, computer security is undertaken by installing off the shelf software referred as antivirus.  And Webwatcher can be used to protect you.

Do we stop worrying after their installation? We keep on sharing anxious moments with our colleagues and friends over the computer’s vulnerability.

This can’t be left open ended with so much at stake for us personally.

Prevention is better than cure. There are systems and methodology that ensure us cyber security. We can strive to undertake the following measures:

• Monitor ourselves through
  • Recording conversation
  • Recording email communication
  • Recording content sharing in blogs and posts
  • Recording the websites visited
  • Recording the pattern of keys in the key board
• Create blocks on
  • Designated category of websites
  • Unapproved applications
  • Unknown programs
  • Unsolicited mails and communication
• Prevent loss of information through
  • Strong policies and procedures
  • Corrupt software
  • Removable media
  • Structured reporting of all activities
  • Adopting automatic storage facilities
• Recovering lost information by
  • Remotely managing computer systems
  • Locating stolen devices like hard disk of stolen laptops

There are designated software sources to undertake the measures mentioned above. This leads us to ponder what else can be done.

Webwatcher PC Security

Design Defenses: We can strengthen or build defense mechanisms based on the following.

• Creating self awareness on the various types of cyber attacks;
• Understanding the impact of information we are sharing;
• Assessing the vulnerable objects in our computer;
• Building policies in data management;
• Running system audits to detect faults;
• Continuously keeping software up-to date
• Maintaining information ownership and privileges
• Maintaining activity protocol

Adopting practices beyond the boundaries of offices or home is desirable. Attacks in outer locations can be prevented by:

• Avoid unknown or unverified connections
• Disconnect from connections that fluctuate in their functioning
• Avoid free internet access at public places
• Do not view web pages without security enabled features
• Keep an eye on the behavior of known websites
• Never accept security certificates from unknown entities
• Keep on verifying the features of application servers
• Use a regular VPN gateway with proper authentication

There are so many facets in preventing attacks. It has evolved into a science. Some organizations have developed to an extent that multinational companies are bent on either hiring their services or buying out their entire organization. More features are likely to be discovered with the increase in internet knowledge and Webwatcher can be used to keep your computer safe from the internet.
