In my opinion Apple and Microsoft provide sufficiently capable built-in security software that there is no need to use third party security software but MacOS and Win 10 both support third party security if preferred.Ī word about a local area net to connect the two computers: this takes a little better technical understanding of routers than the usual out of the box install and forget approach.
The network computer is the one where the user is vigilant about using a recent OS version and keeping its updates current. The transfer can be via “sneakernet” (walking a USB stick with the needed files to the work computer) or over a local area net connection. It’s the one that is frequently backed up with a system that can recover everything to a computer with a reformatted disk if neccesary.Īny new downloads from the net that need to go on the work computer go first to the network computer where they can be distinguished from the potentially damaging junk before being transferred. It serves as a “sacrificial” buffer between the internet and the main work computer. This computer can be much less expensive and less capable, but perfect for its purpose. Instead they have a second computer which they use for internet purposes. One very simple approach that many individuals and firms use to absolutely prevent this sort of thing which requires only minimal understanding of threats (ie: the level you have already shown) is to never connect their work computer to the internet.
