Unit 8 Assignment 1
Lab 7: Security Basics.
TASK 1
Zone –Alarm is a two way firewall. The software is free! It also provides an array of features like identity theft protection, online backup’s, and web security. Linksys has firewall settings on their SOHO routers. These firewalls protect the entire network. Most of the SOHO routers on the market today are wireless and provide all different types of wireless security including WPA 2 and also allowing for parental control. Firewalls are sometimes bought as a standalone device but most of the time these days they are built into the router. Software routers are installed on your computer and protect your computer from unwanted traffic.
TASK 2
Trojan horse – pretends to be a ligament program.
Malicious e-mail attachments - or worm usually attached to an e-mail
Drive-by-downloads – when you visit a web site a virus attaches itself
TASK 3
Full back up – Backs everything up
Differential backup- remembers everything up until last full backup
Incremental backup – remembers everything up to last regular backup
For safety backups should be stored off site because you could lose everything this will allow you to have the information off-site to be retrieved at a later date.
