“What is networking and security?” » Computer users are most familiar with the importance of having a network security system, but others may not even know why it is important to have it. Network security is software installed on your computer when it is first manufactured. It is important for your computer system because it protects the computer from hackers, viruses or other malware that can harm the computer system. Although network security is not a necessity for computers, it protects you and your computer from the many viruses, worms, or even hackers that could easily find their way through your software. Computer security is the prevention and detection of unauthorized use of the network. computer. Prevention prevents intruders from being able to access certain parts of the computer system. Detection determines if someone is trying to break into the system, if they were successful, and what they did to your system (Carnegie Mellon University np). It's actually very easy for an intruder to break into your computer. Unfortunately, hackers are always finding new ways to break into people's computer systems. When "holes" are found, vendors create patches to resolve the problem, but it is up to the user to download and install the patch, or configure the computer system to operate securely (Carnegie Mellon University np). Hackers probably don't. you really care about your identity. They most likely just want to control your system so they can use it to hack other systems. Hacking your computer allows them to hide their location from high-level systems like the government and banks. Even if you are on the Internet playing a game or listening to music, your computer can still be hacked. Hackers c...... middle of paper ...... start properly. This is caused by improper PC shutdown, closing a running program, use of malware or freeware, but especially power outages and file corruption after the disk hard has become unstable and stops working properly (Creative Team np); The last reason for most hard drive failures and probably the most effective is human errors, which are mainly caused by human errors and can cause system damage. Editing system registry files, modifying attributes file or any other can cause lots of damage to the PC. These errors are difficult to recover and require the most powerful hardware recovery software to deeply scan and recover important data (Creative Team np). In conclusion, the importance of network security is to maintain the reliability, integrity, usability and security of data. on a network or personal computer.
