10 Rules.
1. Safeguard your computer.
Taking good practice (workstation clean,
quiet, stable, neat) can have security
(physical) on the machines.
Laptops need special care and attention. The rules about
using them in a safe place are even more important,
because laptops are only too often balanced precariously or
used in the midst of all sorts of other activity
2. Use strong passwords and a
screensaver.
This rule tells us how to keep our equipment and
protected accounts, especially when used by
third parties.
3. Update and patch your
operating system

updated with required patches have basic security with
which we can be quiet some time.
4. Have an up-to-date firewall.
In this rule explain about how maintaining safety using
firewalls. In This rule mentions case about importance of
firewalls with examples of day routine in workstations or
machines personals.
5. Have up-to-date anti-virus
software.
There are some 100,000 viruses, worms
and Trojans circulating in the wild. Some
of them are worse than others, and some
very nasty indeed
You need to have antivirus software even if you
only use web mail.
6. Act anti-spam.
Some estimates are that 80 per cent of all
e-mail is now spam.
A spam filter is software that tries to sort the spam from
the ham: to identify and block the incoming spam but to
let through what you want to receive.
7. Use up-to-date anti-spyware/adware tools
Adware is pop-up advertising software that has
downloaded to, and runs on, your computer,
usually without your active consent or
knowledge. It will try to keep a series of
advertisement windows open in front of you,
irrespective of your attempts to close them.
Spyware is software you didn't deliberately install,
which collections information about you.
You must keep your computer protected and also do
periodic cleaning it.
8. Be sensible – don’t take unnecessary risks.
Take precautions when you browse the
internet, as many risks including physical is
when we stay safe.

You need to have copies of everything
available so that you can recover yourself.
It should make a backup and
update periodically
10. Fix problems as soon as
they arise.
Tackle the possible issues step-by-step (guide of what to
make to find solucion to problems of safety how more easy,
for example, intrusion, phishing, virus or whatever what make
what the machine not function correctly).
