DESCRIBE THE ACTIONS TAKEN TO REDUCE RISKS TO SECURITY WHILST USING THE INTERNET FOR DIFFERENT TYPES OF BUSINESS ACTIVITIES. [P4]

How to Reduce Risks?


According to the 4 business activities, all the risks will differ. Below, I have stated on how to reduce risks while using the internet for business purposes:

      1. Creating & updating a password

This is one of the ways to reduce risks to secure using internet. If you do not have implied a password on anything that uses internet then please do!!! It is way more safer for so many causes. Frequently changed passwords are even more of a benefit part of using the internet safely. Especially when people create accounts for different websites or application that use the internet, it is best to choose or make a strong password that is difficult to guess or break. So that when hackers try to hack your accounts, files or gadgets, they can be unsuccessful.

Firstly, I am showing an example and steps on how to set passwords on your mobile phone:

Step 1:
Go to settings



Step 2:
Click on the fingerprint and security๐Ÿ‘†๐Ÿ‘†๐Ÿ‘†

Step 3:
Then tap on the phone password word



Step 4:
You will see phone password again below after the step 3 therefore click on it again in order to turn on the mode of allowing your mobile phone of using password.



Step 5:
Now, you will see some number digits which you get to pick your own number code for about 4-6 digits only. In order to reconfirm on what you have chosen the password as, there is a re-enter system which asks you to re-enter the number digits you did a while ago within this step 5.


Step 6:
And your done! So far so good password is made. Now, as for updating your password, you can click on reset and this follows up with the same steps as well.




      2. Updating software

Companies using computers should be able to enhance an anti-virus software therefore providing the computers a sort of protection. As long as an anti-virus software is there to protect the computers, it is safer because if any virus do attacks on the computers, the important information are not to be destroyed or disappear. Instead, the software helps fight the virus and not disturb the information in the computers.

      3. Links and Attachments

Links and attachments are very popularly sent through companies especially when doing business research or promoting. That's why it is important to know that you can not just click on any file that is sent to them or that you search for. This helps reduce the risks of scams affecting on computers, thus, increases security.

      4. Social Media Security

Social media is a method of promoting a company which means it is essential to keep most information private as well when the particular company has not added or followed a particular site. Not just for companies but this type of precaution should also be made by any individual. Especially, in keeping their profiles privates so that there is no identity theft happening.
