Read about top 10 security tips to keep you computer protected online and learn how to secure your PC from security threats. Scan emails, patch and upgrade security software, backup computer, avoid spam and use latest protection software from Norton.

As you probably know, the main objective of security software is to protect and ensure the safety of information, computer systems or computer networks from theft, vandalism, damage, loss and other potential hazards. Of course, security software is not the only solution to protect a computer system, but in my opinion, namely security software plays a crucial role in securing and maintaining the confidentiality of personal computers.

I think the problem is that unlike the corporate computers, personal computers are not adequately protected against Internet threats, since not all users are good professionals in the field of information security, often ignored the rules of computer security and many other security flaws that are not present in corporate networks. And if, in most instances for corporate computers the main threat are insiders, then for personal computers — Network security threats.

As a rule, to protect personal computer against Network threats helps security software, such as antivirus, anti-spam, firewall, anti-spyware and others — as multi-application security suite or standalone software. And despite the fact that this class of programs provides a malware, spyware, phishing, spam and vulnerability protection, they cannot protect against these threats if the user does not comply with the rules of computer security and ignores the recommendations of experts.

ACL — short for Access Control List, a set of data that informs a computer's operating system which permissions, or access rights, that each user or group has to a specific system object, such as a directory or file. Each object has a unique security attribute that identifies which users have access to it, and the ACL is a list of each object and user access privileges such as read, write, or execute.

The information that identifies specific users or groups and their access privileges for a particular file or directory. Each entry in a typical ACL specifies a subject and an operation. For instance, if a file has an access control list that contains (Alice, delete), this would give Alice permission to delete the file.

A disk array is a disk storage system which contains multiple disk drives. It is differentiated from a disk enclosure, in that an array has cache memory and advanced functionality, like RAID and virtualization.

Disk array refers to a linked group of one or more physical independent hard disk drives generally used to replace larger, single disk drive systems. The most common disk arrays are in daisy chain configuration or implement RAID (Redundant Array of Independent Disks) technology. A disk array may contain several disk drive trays, and is structured to improve speed and increase protection against loss of data.

Disk arrays organize their data storage into Logical Units (LUs), which appear as linear block paces to their clients. A small disk array, with a few disks, might support up to 8 LUs; a large one, with hundreds of disk drives, can support thousands.
