Web Security

Web Security is so vital to an association due to all the different kinds of harmful malware. One type of Malware is spyware. Spyware is software that is installed in a way that tries to appear secret. Spyware will use a user's internet habits to gain personal information as well as intercepts personal messages sent to the user. This removes your message confidentiality. Spyware uses internet connection to intercept information. Another type of malware is worms. A worm spreads through your computer without any human interaction. A worm copies itself while it is inside of one’s system as well. It gets on one's computer through a security hole in one's software. They can also be spread through software vulnerabilities through spam emails. The last kind of software I am going to inform you of is a trojan. This malware was named off the trojan horse because it is often disguised as legitimate software but then downloads a harmful malware instead. Once activated this malware can enable cyber criminals to spy on you, steal your data, and gain backdoor access to your system. All these malware's can be prevented by anti-virus software which. We strongly suggest you invest in anti-virus software because it will scan your system and detect any incoming viruses, preventing it from spreading to your computer at all.
