Information Technology has generated enormous benefits to both business and non-business communities alike. The global Internet has shrunk the world to the fingertips of both consumers and suppliers. In turn consumers have the freedom to buy desired products or services from virtually anywhere around the globe.

A major problem stemming from this technological innovation is that if your computer is attached directly or indirectly to the internet, your network is at risk. Fundamentally, your network is not safe until access points are properly secured. This level of security can be viewed from two perspectives namely internal and external security.

Internal security translates to information/data, which is only available to its intended users where all assets are properly secured wherever unauthorised attempted intrusion access is controlled and monitored. Equally, external security can be seen in terms of procuring safety from the external side.

By securing the computer room with security codes and additional locks does not correlate in the presence of unsecured internet connections in the network connected machines.
Such internet connections can be open invitations to the hacker community. Basically the only information an intruder needs is the web address of the company.

Organisations, which are particularly vulnerable, could be banks or institutions that could face bankruptcy if their account data is ever found to have been compromised.7.1 Services
