Security Best Practices & Malware Prevention

We will discuss techniques to prevent infections from common viruses, spyware, adware and malware. We’ll also discuss how to limit your exposure while reading email, web browsing and searching the web. This is a very user-friendly presentation with specific examples of recent phishing schemes, deceptive websites and malicious emails. This presentation has reduced client infections in some cases by as much as 90%. We’ll also include a quick reference sheet of the points we discussed.

We will also review Security Best Practices for workstations, networks and servers, with a focus on data security, backups and remote access options.
