Increasing Your Masquerading Gateway Security

It is amazing what some things a hacker will do to access a companies computer system and what companies could and should be doing to protect themselves by putting up firewalls. Once a companies TELNET has been accessed to your firewall then every computer on your network is venerable. That hackers use common passwords or there are programs that can be used.

That companies should be constantly aware about computer security and developing firewalls. Depending upon what type of company it is, that it is a challenge to a hacker; the different ways to break in, incoming traffic from the Internet or mail.

All companies should be aware of computer security and constant monitoring and/or multiple firewalls.

As an MIS major and working the healthcare field, I am interested in computer security. Whether it is setting up firewalls and/or passwords, free reign should never be permited.
