Computer Security exists on several levels. Broadly these may be defined as:

	Data/Software Security
	Backup your Data regularly
	Computer Security

Data/Software Security
The one that comes first to everyones mind is a Virus attack. In such instances these can result in severe data loss which can be at great cost to a business. Believe us, as one of the largest computer service centres in Ireland, we deal with the effects every day. It is much better to put the right security in place before it happens than face the result.

Another threat exists where someone can take control of your computer, unknown to you. Unless you have proper systems in place and are protected, another computer user can gain access to your computer and steal sensitive information or take control of your computer, unknown to you. They can then use it to represent themselves as you for the purpose of running a scam or fraud. We can provide and setup Malware software to protect against such threats.

Backup your data regularly
The data of any business is not only vital information but to loose it entirely could have devastating consequences. For that reason it is essential and normal business practice to make regular backups of your data. This will ensure that you can, at worst, recover your data to the point it was last backed up in the event of failure of the storage device (usually a disk drive) or damaging virus attack. If you were to imagine the number of movements a disk drive head makes in the course of a minute, never mind a day, month or year it is a small wonder they are as reliable as they are... but better to be safe as a small percentage will fail. The best method of securing a backup will vary with user, volume of data to be secured and backup frequency. This can range from a memory stick, to external usb disk drive, to backup tape cartridge or other devices. Tape cartridges are usually the preferred option for business use.

Computer Security
Product security means that your computer products are not, as far as is possible, exposed to damage or theft and in the event of either that the data or software held on them, if important, is not irretrievably lost in the event of loss or theft. In some cases where the data is sensitive or covered by legistlation it may be necessary to secure it by way of encryption. We offer replacement disk drives with data encryption for laptops.

You can also purchase security devices such as a laptop lock for very little. These are the most simple devices that lock your laptop (or other devices) by key to a secure point and instantly remove the treat of theft. Most people who have a laptop stolen will buy one with the replacement computer.
