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.
