Choosing The Right Internet Security Tactics
#1
Internet security requires a combination of several products and technologies to properly safeguard data. It's important to consider several types of internet security strategies when taking proper measures to help keep your network secure. These tactics can include:
  • Browser selection: Each browser has its own security measures in place, but some can have serious flaws that allow hackers and cybercriminals to exploit and invade. Ensure that you're using a secure browser to reduce the risk of compromising your computer or network.
  • Multi-factor authentication (MFA): MFA is a method of controlling computer access by requiring several separate pieces of evidence to an authentication mechanism. Websites and email accounts can be made more secure by requiring at least two factors of authentication by a user.
  • Email security: Email creates a wave of opportunity for viruses, worms, Trojans, and other unwanted programs. Establishing a multi-layered and comprehensive email security strategy will help significantly reduce exposure to emerging threats. Email messages can also be protected by using cryptography, such as signing an email, encrypting the body of an email message, and encrypting the communication between mail servers.
  • Firewalls: Firewalls act as filters that protect devices by allowing or denying access to a network. By applying a specific set of rules to identify if something is safe or harmful, firewalls can prevent sensitive information from being stolen and keep malevolent code from being embedded onto networks.
