P4: Describe the actions taken to reduce risks to security whilst using the internet for different types of business activities.
One way which companies make sure that they are protected on the internet it by having anti-virus software on all computers which are being used in companies. This is going to be important for companies to do because it means that any virus which may have gotten onto the computer are now going to be stopped before they are able to do anything to destroy the computer. This means that none is going to be able to get any information off the computer.
Another way to increase security whilst using the internet would be to ensure that they have all of their information backed up. This is going to increase security because it means that no one is going to be able to take all the information off either company’s data or off someone’s personal data. Having all the information backed up means that if they lose any data they are able to wipe everything asap but still have it backed up somewhere. This is going to increase security as well as still allowing the business to run successfully because it means that if any information gets lost into the public, they can get rid of all the information straight away without losing any information.
Another way which people individually or companies could help increase security by having strong passwords on all of their social Medias or actual computer. This means that it’s going to be harder for anyone to be able to get hold of these passwords. This is going to increase security because it means that it’s going to be less likely for people to get hold off all of the valuable information which will be saved more on companies’ computer software. By increasing the security it means that it is less likely that this information is going to get into the public. This could leave a negative effect on a company because can lose customers if any information gets let out.
Another way to increase security is for people to know not to click on any unfamiliar links. This is going to reduce the risk of scams happening on a computer. This is going to increase security because scams could take over a computer and take over any information. So by doing this it means that this is less likely to happen.
Another way to increase security would be to keep updating your software and all passwords. This is going to increase security because it means that its going to be harder for people to find out your passwords if they keep changing. Its also important to keep your security software updated as this is going to keep it all up to date meaning that the protection is just going to keep getting better and stronger.
Also by locking things up as much as possible is going to keep all of your information secure. This means that keep all accounts locked when possible and keep all computers locked. This is going to stop anyone being able to go onto your account or computer and accessing your personal information.
Finally another way which individuals could do to increase security would be by keeping all social media on private and to be careful who they share their details with. This is going to reduce the risk of identity theft. This is going to increase security because this means that it’s going to stop as many peoples personal information go out into the public without being asked to.
