The Important Of Securing Window And Other Servers
You are the Information Security Officer at a medium-sized company (1,500 employees). The CIO asks you to explain why you believe it is important to secure the Windows and Unix/Linux servers from known shortcomings and vulnerabilities. Explain to your CIO what you can do to make sure the network infrastructure is more secure.
As everyone knows the Internet is not the most trusting place to put personal information of us; measures are needed to protect from harmful threats and vulnerabilities. The CIO should know that if the company doesn’t protect their Windows or Unix/Linux servers from unknown shortcomings and vulnerabilities, the company might get attacked by hackers, who want to steal confidential information to commit crimes, it could destroy the data or worst it could steal the data of which the company had save for many years (Records). Hackers typically use codes or malware in the form of viruses, worms, time bombs, logic bombs, Trojan, and many more. To corrupt a company’s network infrastructure and it is network operating system. Normally when they do this kind of things, they are looking to steal data, such as credit cards, property information, social security numbers, addresses, phone numbers, and anything else that could be used to identify a person or help duplicate a business. The CIO should have a way to protect the company’s network infrastructure from such catastrophes.
Infrastructure is more secure. The first point that I will address consist on the multiple dangers that computer networks are expose, that are in majority done by hackers or somebody, that get access to servers of Windows and Linux to explode their vulnerabilities. For this reason, in general terms security; has we define the act of provide access of protection
