Digital Security-the precautions necessary to ensure the personal safety and network security of all technology users. Since the computer contains a great deal of personal information it is necessary to utilize security features to protect ourselves, our data, and our digital community in which we live. In addition to security features, it is important to be aware of the dangers of providing personal information over the internet.
Every digital citizen must assume an active role in chosing and using security technology and practices.
Available technology:
Firewalls: protects a computer from un-wanted internet traffic and viruses that can come with them.
Passwords: protection to limit the access of other individuals to our hard-drive or internet-based data. Secure password management is an important feature of each user's personal protection strategy.
Anti-virus software: protects data, software, and hardware from purposely destructive code.
Back-ups: copies of data to prevent wholesale loss.
Good management of your digital domain also protects those with whom you share hardware and data.
