System Configuration

One of the most common gaps in a school’s IT infrastructure that cyber criminals look to exploit are security misconfigurations.

Failure to install the correct configuration can result in widespread security problems across the PC network. For example, cyber criminals can easily discover PC systems with these vulnerabilities using common security scanning tools. If this happens website, databases and complete school networks can be very quickly compromised, putting confidential information at high risk.

When new PCs are installed, they often come with default configurations which are typically as open and multi-functional as possible. However, this is a welcome invitation for those looking to exploit vulnerabilities. Security configuration software should therefore be implemented when school computer networks are configured to reduce the unnecessary cyber vulnerabilities.

In order to minimise the risk of rogue agents and cyber attacks, a suitable security configuration software also needs to be correctly configured on to the schools PC network. Magix security software detects and prevents cyber crime by enhancing a school’s defence and detection capabilities.

Once installed. Magix will give the IT department visibility of how vulnerable the infrastructure is and assists in supporting the overall defence against viruses and malicious security attacks.
