How to Protect Your Servers from Attacks and Hackers

For most internet users, a firewall, spyware and antivirus protection is more than enough to keep hackers at bay. But part of the reason these programs are effective is that hackers rarely waste their time breaking in to personal computers. However, they will go that extra mile to access the servers of businesses where they can find sensitive financial information.

How does it work?
Well, when a user visits a web page, any web page, some of the information get stored on the server. Then when a talented hacker breaks into a hosting server, he may be able to access some of the information that is restricted to customers, such as credit card numbers.
How can you protect your servers?
Unfortunately, catching a hacker in the act is not always easy. They rely on a number of different tricks and techniques to illegally access servers. Believe it or not, most of the programs they use are freely distributed on the web. Of course, they must first find a way in for the hacker to have any chance of accessing confidential files on the server.

Malicious computer programs are the easiest and most effective way for a hacker to break in. Therefore, the first thing you must do is make certain your spyware and Malware programs are current. Of course, no security program can guarantee that your server will not become infected.

What to look for?
If your computer slows down and frequently freezes, there is a good chance that the server is infected. At this point, it will be necessary to disconnect the system from the network. This will prevent infected programs from interacting with the server. It will also prevent the unscrupulous hacker on the other end from accessing your confidential files
