Security issues!

As a major company you will have many different files and private information that you want to be kept safe and the company system as well so you will need to do certain things to keep your information safe from certain issues that could threaten your system like, Viruses

All PCs and servers that are connected to the company system should have anti-virus software (Norton or MacAfee) to ensure the files are protected from viruses

Unauthorised software introduced to the company LAN (Local Area Network) via USB sticks or disks can threaten the performance of the system (download/general computer speed can be affected as well)

Security and Data precautions

Unregistered websites can affect your system and system performance as they can end up uploading viruses and bugs into your system slowing performance and losing data so you should use the proxy server responsibly and program it a set of rules that only allow company software to use certain websites and restrict any other websites

All data should be kept in the LAN (Local Area Network) where it should be guarded by a firewall and the DMZ (Dematerialized zone/Proxy server) where if any body tries to hack the system they will get stopped either through the DMZ or the Firewall

If any e-mails are sent through the company system that may contain private information then in order to keep the information private your company should have a SMTP (Simple Messaging Transfer Protocol) which should also include antivirus software (Norton or MacAfee)

Guidelines and procedures for company staff

As staff you should take these simple instructions in order to keep your company information safe:

Install Anti-virus software onto all company PC’s and servers (and SMTP if your company uses it)

Program the Proxy server to only allow the company to use certain sites

If you follow these rules your information will be safe Thank you
