CAN WE TRUST ANTIVIRUS SOFTWARE?

-
Image
There are a lot of free antivirus software and free versions of commercial anti-malware. Can we really trust these free antivirus programs? Same question about commercial antivirus software. Maybe they install back doors on our computers? Very true. Maybe they do. However, there are many people with technical experience who are in a position to verify, either by monitoring for unexpected outbound connections or by reviewing the code, so we can be reasonably certain that they do not. But think about the alternative: we know that malware installs back doors, etc., so from a risk-based perspective, which one would you prefer? A control that you personally haven't investigated, but approved by many others, or a lack of control that leaves you open to malware. Pretty simple. Trust is not required, it is just up to you to balance the risk factors for your circumstances. If you need some guidance, large companies use desktop and edge antivirus and antimalware, as well as antim...

IS YOUR ANTIVIRUS SOFTWARE WORKING?

How long have you installed your antivirus or security suite? How many times have you checked your antivirus software ? Security products are designed for users who plan to set and forget them, but for best results you should check them from time to time. Here Are Few Steps to Know That Your Antivirus Software Is Working Properly: 1. Keep your antivirus updated In the early days of computer viruses, antivirus programs simply scanned files for signature patterns of known threats. These days, most malware coders make their code polymorphic, undetectable by simple pattern matching. And modern antivirus utilities use behavior-based detection systems, so they can stop malware they've never seen before. That said, simple malware signatures and behavioral detection patterns need frequent updates to keep up with evolving malware. Is your antivirus updated? Open it up and take a look at it. Do you see a message about the need to update the databases? Even if you don't, find the c...

Looking at the current computing landscape and the one to come, where cybersecurity will be, I dare say, in the most important sector of the technological world, an antivirus that protects us from different types of attacks becomes necessary. The use of different types of devices also forces us to protect not only the computer, but also the smartphone, tablet, laptop and even, as you will see, connected smart devices (televisions and IoT devices). All this will make the annual investment necessary to protect all the devices, if we have to pay licenses for each of the devices, it can become quite important. At this point we can assess the installation of free solutions to reduce that budget, since almost all Antivirus companies make available free and paid versions at the same time. So the question arises, why are we going to pay for an antivirus when I can have it and use it for free? Do the free and paid versions work the same? The answer is not just one, and it will always d...

Secure Your Wi-Fi Network Wi-Fi is that the most convenient thanks to hook up with the web, especially if you would like to attach quite one device in your home. However, make sure your Wi-Fi network is secure. This involves: Using encryption, preferably Wi-Fi Protected Access II (WPA2) because it's the strongest.

COMPANIES INTERNET SECURITY

The Internet today allows companies to break down many barriers. The first is the barrier to entry in relation to larger businesses. And it is that although a few years ago small companies were destined to a small growth and to advance with their products only to the market that was geographically closest to them, today an SME can literally compete as equals and sell anywhere in the world 24×7, with the same capacity. In fact, the trend in the medium term is the emergence of micro-multinationals, SMEs that focus on a global market. All can go out into the world. Using the internet in the company also facilitates teleworking and increases productivity within the company, making it efficient and turning its service into a remote one. That it can be handled from anywhere in the world, the trend indicates, that you must become independent of any ties right now. It seems like magic, but no, the internet is a tool that, well used, can be very beneficial for a company. Focus and find the be...
