Risks of Network Computing
The security of a computer network is challenged every day by:
- Equipment malfunctions
- System failures
- Computer hackers
- Virus attacks
Note: Equipment failures and system failures may caused natural disasters such as floods, storms, or fires, and electrical disturbances.
Network and Communication
Networks and communication involve connecting different systems and devices to share data and information. This setup includes hardware like computers, routers, switches, and modems, as well as software protocols that manage how data flows between these devices.
Protocols such as TCP/IP and HTTP are essential for communication between devices. They set the rules for how data is exchanged, ensuring a common connection.
Advancements in technology have led to the creation of complex communication networks, like the Internet. The Internet has transformed how we communicate and access information. It has made it easier for people to connect, work more efficiently, and find information and resources quickly.
