"Hackers, viruses and worms are more prevalent every day. Our cyber environment is subject to many diverse threats and each has to be dealt with differently."

Viruses and worms are becoming more and more dangerous as people become more skilled in creating them. They can adversely affect the performance of a network or the integrity of its data.

Network intrusion or unauthorized access to your network systems can lead to loss of data, malicious mischief, data theft or a lack of access to the system as a whole.

Prevention is in all cases better than dealing with the consequences of a cyber attack. Risk evaluation will determine what holes or avenues into the network need to be closed to prevent unwanted access. Preventative measures are available and should be instituted at several levels within the network.

Unauthorized access can be controlled at the firewall and router levels of the network. Behind the firewall, intrusion detection systems can be deployed that will alert administrators of questionable activity generated internally or externally.

Antivirus software at the desktop level should be an absolute minimum of protection. There is also antivirus software for email servers that can block viruses/worms before they even reach the desktop.
