Protecting the network does not necessarily mean that the protection will come from an outside source, but also from the local administrator. They basically hold the foundation in maintaining a safe and secure network. There are some steps to take in providing utmost security to the network. Some of these steps are:
Check the latest security services available
Purchased and install software or programs that could help prevent security attacks. Certain tools and gadgets are also available in keeping the system safe and secured.
Assigning secured passwords
Prevention is always better than cure. Thus, avoid using default passwords or commonly used dictionary terms.
Assess theft potential
Constantly check the computers, laptops, portable hard disks, data backups on CD, anything – make sure to assess the system's safety well.
Check network bandwidth
This could prevent end users of using the bandwidth "over the hedge" just by sending "junk" emails daily.
Data Backups
Make system backups, or rather schedule system backups every so often so that in case of data loss, there would be no problem.
Data Confidentiality
Encrypt data and files in the best way possible.
Disaster Recovery Plan
Consider drafting one if one doesn't exist yet. This is the number one reason why network attacks succeed, because if one had prepared to be attacked, the attack wouldn’t have been so bad, or ‘as’ bad had one not prepared for it.
