Cybersecurity vulnerability is very common in Windows based systems nowadays; User negligence or lack of knowledge of Windows security factors are actually responsible for this problem. The use of networked computers for personal or corporate reasons is the main cause of this vulnerability. At first, you need to understand some basic but advanced features of your Microsoft Windows system that you are often unaware of. Below, I share some important issues that you can mitigate by setting up an Access Director on your Windows system.
File Sharing Permissions: This is a local administrative privilege on all types of Microsoft versions that should be considered as vulnerable as you are giving your information out to everyone! According to the cybersecurity analyst, most of the time it has been created either by administrator carelessness or by mistake. The administrator can mitigate this ‘Group Everyone’ issue by setting up an Access Director to protect this issue from identity theft along with other data.
Malware Protection Deficiency: Most of the Microsoft Windows users always neglect this problem and ultimately their Windows security system is completely threatened and they are unable to realize it. Malware can damage your system at various levels of risk and can also destroy your data security. It is recommended that antivirus and antispyware be installed correctly on users’ computers.
Personal Firewall Protection Illiteracy: Most workstations as well as servers do not have any firewall protection configured due to administrator or user illiteracy. Windows security can be very vulnerable to this problem. We should apply our common sense that Microsoft created a firewall protection feature because it has an important role in ensuring the security of Windows.
Incapable Disk Encryption: Most users or organizations do not use a disk encryption system and as a result, if some of their laptops or desktops are accidentally lost, they are unable to protect their hard drive from password cracking by third parties. from thieves to gain full access to all information; encrypting all information using a specific passphrase can only do that. This is a huge threat to Windows security.
Lack of security standard: Wireless network users should prepare and use a secure user policy, such as using an SSL for Microsoft Outlook Web Access or a PPTP VPN connection to connect to any remote network or using WPA-PSK with a passphrase. strong password to ensure the cyber security of the system is working well. For this, a well-organized workstation-based network access control (NAC) system is recommended.
I hope that the points described above can make sense to you and you will see the result yourself if you apply them. Happy Computing.
