We take what is given to us, whether that is free security software or off the shelf software but most of us know very little about it. We really don’t know if we are secure or not. Here is a fact; it takes less than 8 seconds to get hit with viruses if you have absolutely no protection on your computer.
The security software supplied for free and or off the shelf is without a doubt ineffective to handle the bombardment of attacks that come across the internet these days. With over 500 new virus’s each and every month, and that’s being conservative, it’s no wonder this security software can’t keep up with the demands. Software that is not being updated and upgraded every single day is not sufficient to protect your computers.
The demand to have the best technology keeping us secure is of the utmost importance or at least it should be to all those who surf or operate a business online. Here is the unfortunate thing; the security software is only as good as the people who develop it. Many companies do all their security development in house. They rely solely on their technicians to come up the latest greatest protection, but even they fall short. Why? Well, there are so many cyber criminals looking for away to break those systems down and gain entry into the network that their security software programs are already outdated by the time it hits the market. Even the updates are outdated
There are ways to solve this issue. The best possible method is to have a number of security companies who focus on specific aspects of security software. You need the best firewall, the best anti-virus and the best spy ware or as we call it best of breed technology. Most of these so called security suites cannot keep up with what is going on. Cyber criminals are making more money then drug dealers these days it’s a fact and with money being the prime motivating factor for all criminals, cyber criminals will do anything to try to get into your system.
