My PERSONAL Computer
SECURITY - General
Computers and diskettes often hold a considerable amount of CONFIDENTIAL passwords, memos, financial information, personal details (of you and your friends), etc., which should be protected from corruption, loss or disclosure.
Potentially the loss of a computer or access to the data/processing provided by same, causes serious disruption (and a lot of personal anguish).
Physical Security
Ensure the physical security of all computers, diskettes/CDs (including software) and printouts.
For some that may just require locking the front door, but for others it may require a lock on the bedroom/study door to keep out those "little" fingers or prying eyes.
Logical Security
To improve the security of your computer implement the practice of 'password' protecting all computers as follows:
BIOS Password (when starting/booting the computer)
Screensaver Password, screensaver to have maximum time of 5 minutes
Screensaver to be invoked by Windows 'startup'
This all sounds easy - well it is - and as you read the other pages you may get an insight into how you can do it better.
