Ensuring Data Integrity




:Back-Up Teqniques- Must be done regularly and must be planned or scheduled (On a Calandar)
:FRECUENCY OF SAVING- SAVING OFTEN IN CASE OF POWER CUT, AND CRASHES.
:VIRUS PROTECTION FACILIYTY-YOU NEED FIRE WALL. BLOCKS ANY THING UNAUTHOURISED.ANTI-VIRUS SOFTWARE.
:UPS OR SURGE PROTECTER- SURGE PROTECTER IS DESIGNED TO PROTECT ELECTRICAL DEVICES FROM VOLTAGE SPIKES.UPS= UN-INTERUPTED POWER SUPPLY. FOR SHORT TERM POWER CUTS.

                                 Must be backed up on schedule.
Visus Protection Facility:
                                        Use a Firewall (Blocks any unauthorized access by monitoring traffic).
                                        Antivirus software can be downloaded to protect your computer from viruses.
Frequency of Saving:
                                  If any number of things such as power cuts, battery depletion or crashes your work                      
                                  should be saved so it is not lost when those happen.
UPS or Surge Protector:
                                      A device on the electrical circuit that blocks spikes/surges in voltage.
                                      Uninterrupted Power Supply (UPS) is a solution for short term power cuts the                          
                                      computers and servers will keep running.
