Holy Cow!!!!

OMG! I completely forgot about posting my reflections for week 9! Well, I guess better late than never!

Last week we focused on security and I know that it is a major issue within my company. Some employees still have the old computer systems that don't do much and have no Internet access, but for the ones of us that needed newer computers for email access and Internet, security becomes imperative. When the new computers were incorporated into our offices, there were no firewalls in place to guard against gaming, chatting, and just plain goofing off. The system administrator monitored the systems very closely and realized that there was definitely a need for some restrictions! Internet security is needed so that hackers are not given an open invitation to your personal information. So many people didn't understand the importance of the blocks being put on different sites, but they have enabled us to share and transfer information without compromise!
