It\u2019s important to know your enemy and know which threats are prevalent. The danger in switching from an old security system to a new software system is in the time between systems, where threats are most common.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\nCyber attackers know how to target this gray area of vulnerability, which can happen if your IT company is not diligent in upgrading security systems or switching to newer systems. Don\u2019t underestimate cyber attacks. Threats of all kinds can gain access to your data to destroy, alter, steal, or manipulate it for their benefit. They can infiltrate both personal and business-grade systems given the right opportunities.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\nAny offensive action targeting your information, data, IT systems, networks, or devices is considered a cyberthreat. Some of the most common types to be aware of include SQL injections, drive-by scams, phishing scams, cross-site scripting attacks, viral injections, and any type of malware. Staying alert during security software installation can save you a lot of trouble in the future.\u00a0 \u00a0\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\nMistake #2: Forgetting Basic Smart Security Practices<\/span><\/strong><\/h2>\nAs you install new security software, you may think that your IT systems are protected with the latest technologies. This could cause you to forget some basic rules of overall smart security protocols. However, this forgetfulness can cost you, especially as installation might not be complete with your new systems. Therefore, keep in mind these basic principles and practices for overall safe security systems while you undergo any type of security software installation.<\/span><\/p>\nFirst, never log into a public cloud network that seems faulty, and never give out your personal login information to anyone you can\u2019t trust entirely. Remain educated on the latest cyberthreats and how you can protect yourself against malicious online activity. If you are a business owner, you will also want to ensure your employees are up-to-date on the latest security threats.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\nSecond, you can protect your everyday systems by using strong passwords or phrases. Phrases with multiple characters and symbols are harder for hackers to decipher, ensuring your IT systems remain locked down. Use unique combinations with upper and lowercase letters, numbers, and symbols. Never use the same password for multiple logins. Add on dual authentication systems whenever possible, and never share passwords with others.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\nFinally, never open suspicious links or emails from unknown sources. If something seems off, chances are it could be a malicious threat. You should report all suspicious activity to your IT company right away!<\/span><\/p>\nMistake #3: Self-Led Security Software Installation\u00a0<\/span><\/strong><\/h2>\nThe third mistake you should avoid when integrating new security software is to undergo the process alone. Even if you are an IT expert, newer software systems are often harder to install without the right support and knowledge. Web Hosting Buzz has a 24\/7 support team. We help you install your new security software, field questions, and troubleshoot issues as they arise. This is the best way to ensure you install your security software without glitches that might leave you vulnerable to threats later.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\nImage by Gerd Altmann from Pixabay<\/p><\/div>\n
