Disadvantages of Computer Networking

Some of the main disadvantages of Computer Networking are discussed below:

• Expensive: Execution of the network can be expensive in the case of an initial setup, as the wires and the cost of the cable are high and sometimes equipment is also costly.
• Virus and Malware: Computer Networking can lead to the spreading of viruses to another computer through the network.
• Management of the network: Management of the Network is quite difficult as it requires skilled persons to handle that large network. It requires training of people who are employed in this work. 
• Loss of Information: In case of a crash of the Computer Network, it can lead to the loss of information or not being able to access information for some time. 
• The system can be Hacked: In the case of Wide Area Networks(WAN), there is a threat of Hacking of the System. Some security features should be added to prevent such things.

Pre-requisites: What is Computer Networking?

The computer network is defined as a set of interconnected autonomous systems that facilitate distributed processing of information. It results in better performance with a high speed of processing. Computer Networks can be defined as collections of two or more computer networks that are linked together.
