Lab 7: Security Basics
Task 1: Procedure 1. An example of hardware firewall is Belkin, and an example of software is Norton 360.
Task 2: Procedure 1. Almost all anti-virus programs offer some sort of trial period for first-time users. McAfee is the only one that I know for sure offers free protection. 2. A Trojan Horse is an email virus usually released by an email attachment. If opened, it will scour your hard drive for any personal and financial information such as your social security, account, and PIN numbers. Once it has collected your info, it is sent to a thief’s database. A malicious email message is one which had been deliberately crafted to cause problems on the server or on the client. Drive- by downloads are downloads which a person authorized but without understanding the consequences (e.g. downloads which install an unknown or counterfeit executable program, ActiveX component, or Java applet). .Any download that happens without a person's knowledge, often a computer virus, spyware, malware, or crime ware.
Task 3: Procedure 1. Full backup is a complete backup of everything you want to backup. Differential backup software looks at which files have changed since you last did a full backup. Then creates copies of all the files that are different from the ones in the full backup. Incremental backup software creates copies of all the files, or parts of files that have changed since previous backups of any type (full, differential or incremental). 2. Off-site backups should be used to your data in the event of a local disaster, be it man-made war, terrorism, sabotage or natural (earthquakes, fire, tornados, etc.). 3. A cold site is rented space with power, cooling and connectivity that's ready to accept equipment. With recovery times of a week or more, a cold site is only an option for business processes that can be down for an extended period. A cold site is rented space with power, cooling and connectivity that's ready to accept equipment. With recovery times of a week or more, a cold site is only an option for business processes that can be down for an extended period. In contrast to a hot site, a warm site relies on backups for recovery. As a result, it doesn't require dedicated storage but instead can take advantage of less-expensive shared storage. In other words, all components of a warm site, including storage, are shared among multiple customers.
