The web browser is an extremely complex piece of software. It is used to view web pages, videos games, images, forms and much more. It was originally designed to display text documents, it is now able to handle all the various media available on the Internet. This makes it more challenging for security teams to board meeting agenda protect the system, since it has many “weak points” that attackers can use to their advantage.
It is important to ensure that your security settings are set to the highest possible level regardless of whether you are using the default software preloaded on your PC or an alternative browser you’ve downloaded. This will help reduce the chance of malware getting through and settling into your system. It’s a good idea also to use the browser with a restricted account that doesn’t have administrator rights. In this way, the malware is able to penetrate your browser’s security settings, it won’t be able to alter your system as easily.
It’s also a good idea for you to inform your users about safe internet browsing practices and habits. You can help them disable auto-complete and clear passwords regularly, as well as always select the highest security level in the browser. It is also important to remind them of the importance of websites that clearly state how their data will be utilized and stored. This information is usually found in the privacy policy or user agreement. Security platforms for browsers are also available that eliminate blind spots by monitoring and analyzing sessions on the internet for risks and threats. These solutions are device agnostic, securing managed and unmanaged devices, including BYOD and third party unmanaged devices.
