In addition
to hardware and software, there are some easy steps you can take to protect
your data from accidental loss or malicious damage. You are likely already
practicing most of these. A few action steps are listed below:
Ensure
that your computer system is secure: |
- Use a
firewall (as required by PreViser).
- Protect
your system login and password information, changing passwords at intervals
or when necessary.
- Implement
usage policies for email and Internet access, to avoid damage from viruses
or infected files sent via email.
- Back up
data regularly.
- Use surge
protectors.
