Early System Security Improvements

Summary and Conclusions

This chapter’s message to you is this: Fear of the Internet is unfounded if proper security measures are implemented as part of a well-designed security strategy. Firewalls have their place in the security design, but enterprise trade secrets and sensitive government data need to be encrypted at a high level of security. To avoid the threat of destruction of data by hackers, make regular and periodic backups and store copies off site. That might sound pretty basic; but today, there are still many major federal agencies and large enterprises that don’t backup critical data files on a regular basis. To put it mildly, they are playing with cyber fire!
