7.1 Security

There are 5 major threats that can potentially harm our system. The first threat is natural disasters; our company can counter this by backing up our system or storing our data in a separate location.  The next threat can be either employees or consultants that can harm our system by tampering or unintentional errors.  We can avoid this by incorporating physical access restrictions within our stores.  Another threat to our system is Links to outside business contacts.  We can prevent this threat by encrypting our data before we send it. Finally there's the threats of outsiders and viruses corrupting our systems.  We have the choice of using firewalls and/or encryption to off put these threats.
