Revisiting network security couldn't have come at a better time. As I close up shop for this year and plan for next I need to take a good hard look at this issue. I do have two hard drives on the server, one for back up, but having an external would not be a bad idea. I think I will invest in that not only at school but at home as well. This week's class sparked some ideas for security and back up.
I made a quick call to my tech and he is coming in to help me look at some options. I will pick his brain for my research paper. The last time I looked into this, I was overwhelmed at the options available. When one talks of network security a host of situations come to mind. What needs to be secured must be narrowed down and defined. Over protecting can mess things up as well, and slow down everyone in the process. Stopping the bad from coming in is really my main focus. So with that in mind, I will begin my research. Until we meet again........

You raise a good point! If your computer lives in a bubble, it can get really slow. Some of the articles I read made it sound like you need a myriad of software to keep your computer safe. They fail to mention that all that stuff will slow your computer way down.
When I was searching I too was overwhelmed with the options available. I agreed with the narrowing down and defining what needs to be secure. I can see how over protecting could be a mess too.
