If not installed properly, broadband is a big internet security risk!
With the recent increase in broadband availability and the resulting increased uptake, a new security threat is facing the Internet
The number of people installing Broadband without consideration for firewalls, anti-virus and anti-spyware are creating a new problem. This mainly applies to home broadband installations where security is rarely a consideration, but it can also apply to poorly planned & managed business broadband roll-outs.
These unprotected computers with high speed and high availability Internet connections can be compromised by malicious software. This can not only cause security risks to the user of the computer, but the compromised computer may be remotely used to form part of a massively distributed attack on other sites on the Internet.
If you have an existing broadband installation at home or on a business network and you are not sure if these issues have been properly considered, then contact Inter-Logic for advice on securing your installation.
On the other hand, if you are considering a broadband installation, be sure to make security a key component of your plan. Once again, Inter-Logic will be happy to assist you in the process of installing broadband correctly.
