It's Finally 5.9! does this mean no more unit 5?

I Think this is the last of Unit 5. However I'm not so sure

Hello People

Another Blog and this time it’s on Security and Back-up.

Brief introduction I know but I’m running out of things to say and I’m afraid I might crack a joke!

Thank you

5.9 A: How can physical security be implemented?
Physical Security is a big issue just as much as computer and network security, but if water or fire gets into or onto a computer then the company will have to buy a new computer, put all the past information on it and it will take a very long time, most of it will waste the three most important things:
Time
Money
Movement

However you can prevent this by using what we call it in the trade: Physical security. In Tennis there’s a theory called centre court meaning if you return serve on the right side of the court, moving back to the middle will give you an advantage and theoretically use less power and make you win the game. Try to use the same theory in an office by using some key things to prevent floods, which we will start off with:
Drains in the middle of rooms underneath doors
Drainage systems

That’s about it but you can spread it all over the office and building and use it over and over again. You will find that this is the most common used form of flood-prevention.

In a fire situation however, things are slightly different. You could use things such as:
Air-Con
Sprinklers
Fire Extinguishers
A security phone by all flammable points
Don’t leave ANY and I repeat in block caps, ANY of your computers by a radiator or highly flammable object.




5.9 B: How can these be breached?
It’s scary to think that I am writing a list of ways that can potentially make a company collapse but it is vital to be aware of these things.
Floods
Sparks by water taps
Accident in the kitchen if your companies building has one
Faulty Pipes
Hardware faults
Software crashes
Theft
Collapsed Building from earthquakes e.t.c

5.9 C: Anti-Virus and Firewall
These two can work together very easily, you can actually make your Firewall pick things up and send it to the Anti-Virus so that you can be 100% safe from your computer.

Disadvantage: The Anti-Virus might not detect the virus that is being sent through, this can happen.

Thank you for reading today and I hope I answered some questions.

Thanks
