What Are The Main Computer Network Security Threats?

What Are The Main Computer Network Security Threats?Author: Derek RogersWhether you are looking to protect a small network in your home or one that is the foundation of your business, you will find that it is first important to understand what kind of threats you might be facing. As soon as you have a computer hooked up in order to connect to the network, you will find that there is a chance that it can be exposed to a number of different risks. When you are thinking about what you can do to make a system a great deal more secure, you will find that an understanding of the risks that you are vulnerable to is something that can help a great deal. First and perhaps most obviously, is the threat of a virus.

While the majority of viruses are simply annoying, there are definitely viruses that can damage your network's hardware, software, or both. For the most part, a virus is an executable file that will be spread by human means and will require someone to open it before it can do its work on the network. When looking at virus threats, it is worth understanding worms as well, which are considered a subset of viruses.

Worms do not need human help to propagate themselves, and in fact one example of the way that they work is to turn your computer into an email server that will distribute copies of themselves. When looking into network security threats, though, it is very important to consider what risks may be present from inside the system.
