Don’t you think you are invincible<\/h1>\n

Ya hay un post anterior a este, donde de forma conjunta hablamos\u00a0los tipos de encriptaci\u00f3n y sus inicios, as\u00ed como la diferencia de encriptaci\u00f3n por SW y HW.<\/p>\n

Pero…olvidamos lo m\u00e1s importante \u00bfPor qu\u00e9 es necesario conocer y aplicar los consejos de seguridad inform\u00e1tica? Algunas de las razones est\u00e1n dentro del post mencionado, pero aqu\u00ed daremos el contexto m\u00e1s amplio.<\/p>\n

So this will be a post where I will combine English and Spanish.<\/p>\n

Let’s begin this… What is computer security?<\/p>\n

Computer security is the process of preventing and detecting unauthorized use of your computer. It involves the process of safeguarding against intruders from using your computer resources for malicious intents or for their own gains.<\/p>\n

It encompasses several security measures such as software programs like anti-virus suites, firewalls, and user dependent measures such as activating deactivating certain software features like Java scripts, ActiveX and being vigilant in using the computer and the network…<\/p>\n

Free WiFi is not free!!<\/h3>\n

\"2001\"<\/p>\n

Yes, is hard I know I was just like you an inexperienced user with an amazing amount of happiness when I get to a free WiFi. But let not use it anymore…ok?<\/p>\n

Free WiFi is one of the most easiest ways of getting into our computers or devices and start getting information that is important, as bank accounts or any kind of accounts.<\/p>\n

Computer security is concerned with four main areas:<\/h3>\n
    \n
  1. Confidentiality:-\u00a0 Only authorized users can access the data resources and information<\/li>\n
  2. Integrity:- Only authorized users should be able to modify the data when needed<\/li>\n
  3. Availability:- Data should be available to users when needed.<\/li>\n
  4. Authentication:- are you really communicating with whom you think you are communicating with<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

    But…Why is this so important?<\/h4>\n

    Prevention of data theft such as bank account numbers, credit card information, passwords, work

    \"2005\"<\/div>\n
    \"\"<\/div>\n
    \"\"<\/div> documents or sheets, etc. is essential in today\u2019s communications since many of our day to day actions depend on the security of the data paths.
    \nData present in a computer can also be misused by unauthorized intrusions. An intruder can modify and change the program source codes and can also use your pictures or email accounts to create derogatory content such as pornographic images, fake misleading and offensive social accounts.<\/p>\n

    Malicious intents can also be a factor in computer security. Intruders often use your computers for attacking other computers or websites or networks for creating havoc. Vengeful hackers might crash someone\u2019s computer system to create data loss. DDOS attacks can be made to prevent access to websites by crashing the server.<\/p>\n

    Above factors imply that your data should remain safe and confidential.<\/h4>\n

    Therefore, it is necessary to protect your computer and hence the need for Computer Security arises.<\/p>\n

    Entonces \u00bfC\u00f3mo me protejo?<\/p>\n
