How Security Technology Can Keep Your Business Safe From Malicious Attacks

In this series of articles, you’ll learn about security technology that’s out there: File and Application Security Technology, Computer Network Security, Internet Security, Workplace Security, and Electronic Evidence Management Systems. These are the basics, as far as computer security goes, and each has its own strengths and weaknesses. But each of them also requires training, which is why the books I’m going to recommend today are so important. Specifically, in this article we will share some tips to help you with risk assessment.  You’ll learn about: File and Application Security Technology, Computer Network Security, Internet Security, and Identity and Access Management Technology, just to mention a few. There’s many more, but this is the basics.

File and application security is all about ensuring that your information technology systems are protected from unauthorized access. This includes both physical security, which are protecting computers against outside damage, and logical security, which are protecting software and hardware from being exploited. With regards to physical security, physical protection can include physically securing the hardware and software, for example securing the Ethernet cable or hard drive from outside damage. However, logical security is far more complex, because you need to be able to control what gets into the network. For instance, with firewalls, you can close your network to the outside world, but you can’t close it completely.

However, while firewalls and other forms of network security are important for physical security, they’re certainly not enough. To solve this problem, enterprises have been buying antivirus software from the likes of Kaspersky and Norton. However, if your firewall doesn’t block enough malware, then this antivirus isn’t going to do much to help. On the other hand, with the right firewall and antivirus program, you can literally prevent almost all malware from gaining access to your network. This is what is called enterprise security, which is needed for an information security technology network.

On top of firewall protection, enterprise security technology is also needed to protect your networks from data loss due to malicious activity. One popular solution in this area of protection is known as advanced persistent threat prevention, or APT. This is an extremely advanced, persistent malware program, which was developed by a group of hackers called the “Anonymous People” for a very specific purpose – to attack and sabotage enterprise computers. APT works by sending fake alerts to the administrator of a computer system, usually through an email attachment, which appear to be something that the user might want to download.

This attack is mostly successful if the user opens the attachment (which looks legitimate) and then downloads and executes the attachment on the infected computer. However, it has recently been found that attackers have been using new technologies to bypass many of these common attacks – such as by using “rogue antivirus” programs that install fake copies of popular legitimate antivirus programs. Because of this, many IT professionals are recommending that people use advanced persistent threat prevention technologies to stop these attacks, which work by scanning incoming data packets for keywords that are commonly used by the attackers to identify security systems.

These advanced technologies, such as enterprise security threat protection, work by collecting information about the targeted application, and then analyzing it with an online database. After running the analysis, it will identify any malicious behavior patterns that were previously detected in the application. Based on the information it has collected, the security technology will either warn the user or block the computer system from being able to connect to the application. For instance, if the malicious behavior indicator in a security technology pollutes the network by flooding it with spam, or by changing the website’s login credentials, the network administrator can set a filter that lets the web browser to perform the security technology instead of allowing it to connect.
