Protect computers.

  • Update : Any electronic device must be properly updated. By updating the software, manufacturers solve incidents and vulnerabilities.
  • Antivirus and firewalls : The installation of both is essential, since they detect and stop any threat.
  • Passwords : By creating structures and passwords for the users of the network, the files will be much more protected. Passwords should not be obvious and it is recommended to combine numbers and uppercase and lowercase letters and symbols.

Make backup copies.

Performing backups periodically will always keep the most important information and it will be possible to recover it. These copies should not be on the same device, network or server.

Secure web browsing.
