Question

Why is a computer considered to be safe if it is not connected to a network or the Internet?

Answer 1

The computer is considered to be safe if it is not connected to a network or the Internet because:

• Computer and network security aid in the protection of data and devices.
• Data and network security are two of a technician's secondary roles.
• Security threats may come from both within and outside the company.
• Computer viruses are developed and distributed by malicious attackers.
• E-mail, file transfer, and instant messages are also ways for a virus to spread to another device.
