The Importance of Security


     My roommates and I always say how we wish we had a sink in our dorm room. It is always a pain to have to walk back and forth to the bathroom to either brush our teeth or spill something out. With this new product, this small contraption is space efficient and easy to use. Since dorm rooms are not conducive to rearranging, this portable sink does not need to be connected to any water source in order to work. It's that easy.
     As said previously, my company, as well as most all other companies is run by computers. Computers always have glitches and problems but a way to avoid these problems is by keeping your computer security updated. Computer security is meant to protect ones computer from malware, which can consist of computer viruses, worms, trojans, spyware as well as many other things. These bugs could create problems not just for the computer but also for the company. By not updating the computer regularly, it makes it easier for computer hackers to obtain information that can potentially hurt the business. 
     A way to avoid these problems from happening is to hire an expert in cryptography. Cryptography is "the practice and study of techniques for secure communication in the presence of an adversary." This person would be able to tell what is wrong with the software and if there are any flaws that need to be fixed in order to run a secure and trustworthy business. Potential bad things that could happen if we did not have anti-malware software is that customer information could be leaked and fraudulent behavior may result.
