implementing security policies

this article will show you how to improve the security and protection of your network.

• We will start by implementing the correct handling of OS services that need to be run (this mostly means updates from OS manufacturer). This is vital as it keeps your system safe from the danger of ‘barely running’. following this we need to deal will router software, this is to tweak your wireless systems facilities so that it can handle updates from the manufacturers.

• The routing system needs to be setup to provide the best performance for the users.

• This means to enable security, and deciding which security system to use. WEP is great, but it is not foolproof , WPA on the other hand provides great protection for the wireless system and the users. Enabling groups is also an excellent idea as it provides privacy by making users view only certain type of information at one time, this protects vital information from being available to intruders.

• Next ensure that the system tracing capabilities are working efficiently. If these services need to be installed then do so immediately, as the process of improving the wireless system will benefit from ensuring safety of important data. Now this might now be considered a big threat, but email and website blocking can allow our system to move around more freely, also this service protects the system from viruses.

• Do not give out your system’s information to troubleshooting techs, or keep it to the least amount possible, that way you will be sure that your settings are not being fiddled around with.

• Make sure that setup should be done properly  to avoid downtime to the network, which is harmful as it affects proper connectivity and configuring.
