IT Security

Following are a few important tips for keeping your use of computers safe and productive.

• Back up your computer and keep important files backed up daily, CDOB Network employees make sure to save all your documents to your Home, Share Folder or OneDrive
• Frequently scan your browser and PC for updates using: Qualys Browser Check
• Think before you click! Clicking OK to a software installation and entering your password gives the software/web site access to your computer.
• Do not install more software than you need, and only after you have verified that it is safe.
• Password protect your computer and protect your password.
• Be aware about the latest Scam Alerts!
• Turn on your computer's firewall when outside of the CDOB Network and set your computer to automatically update itself.
• Make sure your Computer is protected with an updated Anti-virus/Anti-spyware software:
  • Employees using PCs on the CDOB Network should have installed Trend Micro Security Agent (Look for a Red circle with a white line in the task bar)
  •  Everyone else (including employees wishing to protect home PCs) should install one of several good free anti-virus programs such as Bitdefender.
