Operating System Update
We should do the same with our operating system. It doesn't make much sense to stick with older versions, since once they're no longer supported, they start causing real problems and leave us vulnerable to security breaches.
External devices
A rather contentious issue is how we handle USB devices. These are often a source of malware. Not only is not to introduce USB virus that can bring out series; but we must also ask ourselves whether we should use the same pendrive to introduce programs and manufacturing machines for Internet downloads.,,es,System users,,es,In addition, we must have full control of system users connecting to our system.
