The law of network security is not changed: five means to ensure high pillow worry-free
Here are things that we like and annoyed during IT: continuous emergence new tools, new challenges, new regulations, and new technologies. On the one hand, they make our daily work interesting and stimulus. On the other hand, the pace of change is too fast, causing us to feel powerful from the heart. Over the years, Karen Toast, WatchGuard Training and Technology Publication, Karen Toast, Karen Toast, often writes such a sentence on the whiteboard: "If you are so fast, you will notify the fear of death to death. Network administrator's work. You have countless things waiting to do, but there is always no time, and users always look forward to the perfect. Every day, you will deal with your network and limited budget, you sometimes feel that you are not just In the Save the Titanic, it is still designed and built. This is the 1000th LiveSecurity Email. In order to commemorate this milestone, we are ready to write to our party on January 11, 1999. Since a viral alert, changes in the field of network security have been changed. But then we realized that even if you have insisted from those crazy changes, then we would like to know what has not changed in these five years. In the kaleidoscope of the network technology, the practical rules that have not been changed after five years should be classified as "classic". Sometimes, when the complexity of the technology is confused with your eyes, re-examines some obvious rules, let you see the essence of things through the fog. These rules are what you can trust when you feel confused. With them, you can tell the newcomer's basic operational rules. In view of this, we have summarized 5 safety experience proven by long-term practices. In the past for at least 5 years, they have always been effective - and in the next five years, they may not change. 1. Write down your security strategy is unlikely. If your corporate culture tends to be unregulated, if you want to achieve excellent security, it is basically lucky. To get the best business security, you must have a unremitting effort, as well as powerful determination. Each company needs a security policy. Don't wait until the invasion, I think of this strategy; now I started to make one, in order to prevent it. Please visit WatchGuard's Security Awareness website, which provides a free white paper, which describes how to draw your policy (PDF), and save expensive expert consultation costs or to explore it in a few quarters. 2. The firewall is essential is that many organizations (most typical are university) are running without firewall protection. Let us ignore the debate about "hardware firewall is good, or the software firewall is good", no matter which firewall is used, there is always a good firewall. The focus here is that everyone connected to the Internet needs to take certain measures at its network entrance to block and discard malicious network communication. When you read this article, you already have a corporate firewall. However, don't forget your remote office staff and move users. The minimum should also be equipped with one person firewall for each of them. Although Windows XP SP2 comes with the firewall barely available, in order to meet your special needs, there are a large number of products available in the market. The main thing is to use them. 3. Update the desktop anti-virus system is interesting at any time is that in 1999 we encourage users to "weekly" to check once an antivirus update. Today, all vendors provide an automatic signature update. As long as you have been in the Internet, they can download them on your machine within hours after a new security threat is found. But the basic truth is the same: Good security requires you to have an antivirus function at each desktop and update it at any time.
