2 . Network Security Introduction

In today's high-tech world, computers take center stage. Whether you are at work, at school, or enjoying quiet time at home, it is almost certain you will run into a computer, or another high-tech device that depends on one. Although the Internet has made network security a top priority in many mainstream technology magazines, many people in Pennsylvania still do not know enough about network security, nor what it takes to truly stay vigilant against ever-changing threats.

Network security is more than just spot-checking or half-heartedly updating programs – it is about constantly monitoring your network to prevent intruders, malware, and other threats now commonplace in such a digital age. True security means reading up and educating oneself about potential threats and understanding what to do in case of a security breach. Network security can mean one computer in relation to the Internet, or a cluster of computers that interact with each other (such as a LAN) and the Internet as well. Below are some important things to keep in mind when it comes to network security.

3 . Why Network Security is Important

Network security is critical to a great experience while using the Internet or just maintaining the good health of a machine that is used for connecting to the Internet. One issue to keep in mind when thinking about network security is the prevalence of the “always on” Internet connection. Many homes and businesses in Pennsylvania now have high-speed Internet connections such as DSL and cable. These connections allow the computer user to access the Internet continuously, as long as the computer is on. This is a sharp contrast from dial-up connections that went on and off periodically, and didn't allow computer users in Pennsylvania to be on the phone and the Internet at the same time.

So the everyday computer user pays the price for the convenience of being able to be on the phone and the Internet at the same time through having to be very protective of their computers. An “always on” connection means that there is more time for a potential intruder to scope out your computer system, and even more opportunity to take advantage of the computer itself. Proper network security can drastically decrease your chances of an attack by an outside force.

4 . Who Should Worry

Everyone in Pennsylvania that uses the Internet or a computer that has been used to connect to the Internet should worry about network security. Unfortunately, the issue usually only gets brought up after a virus or a worm destroys valuable (and often irreplaceable) data, or when an intruder gains control of a computer and uses it to send unsolicited e-mails to hundreds of thousands of people. While personal computer users should remain vigilant about the security of their networks, it is also important for Pennsylvania companies to take computer and network security seriously as well. When companies fail to realize the importance of hardening their network against potential attacks, the consequences are usually quite severe, and end up as national news. Network exploits have led to thousands of records being exposed to an intruder, sensitive records that have often led to identity theft problems for employees and company representatives.

Everyone needs to worry about this growing problem because one weak link in the chain affects everyone else. If one person in Pennsylvania has their machine infected and taken over by a malicious intruder, then countless others will be put at risk. The intruder can use the compromised machine to exploit and conquer other machines, breeding more and more problems for everyone. The best thing to do is to continue to stay ahead in the network security game.
