When using the internet and other networks users must always be aware of the threats that can arise that could damage or steal the data we keep on our computers.

These threats can be entirely malicious ones where people are making attempts to cause you harm in some way, or they can be completely accidental or incidental.

Either way we must be aware of these threats if we’re going to prevent them from affecting us.

Because of the wide variety of threats that come with the use of networks and the internet it is important that we understand the best ways to protect our data from these threats and that we actually implement these methods of protection wherever and whenever we can.

This might be by following good procedures, using the internet sensibly as well as installing software like anti-virus and firewalls.
