Reducing the risk of using internet

1. Back up data
Business needs to make sure that all their information backed up to more secure. One of the easiest ways to create backups of business data is to simply store copies of important files on hard drives, tape drives or other storage devices connected to your systems or network. Copying files to hard drives, USB flash drives, external drives, or other devices attached to individual systems or devices connected via a local or wide area network is an effective way of ensuring backups are available locally when you need them. With any good data recovery plan, keeping local copies of backups is essential. However, due to risks associated with physical disasters, ransomware, theft, and other threats, keeping local backups should never be the only facet of your strategy. In addition to keeping up-to-date One of the easiest ways to create backups of business data is to simply store copies of important files on hard drives, tape drives or other storage devices connected to your systems or network. Copying files to hard drives, USB flash drives, external drives, or other devices attached to individual systems or devices connected via a local or wide area network is an effective way of ensuring backups are available locally when you need them. With any good data recovery plan, keeping local copies of backups is essential. However, due to risks associated with physical disasters, ransomware, theft, and other threats, keeping local backups should never be the only facet of your strategy. In addition to keeping up-to-date local backups of your files and data, you should always store at least one copy offsite as is required with the 3-2-1 rule 

2. increase your security password

 A good password manager, like Number password or Character password , creates strong, unique passwords for all of your accounts. That means that if one of your passwords does get caught up in a data breach, criminals won't have the keys to the rest of your online services. The best ones sync across desktop and mobile, and have autocomplete powers. Now, rather than having to memorize dozens of meticulously crafted passwords, you just have to remember one master key.

3. Add two-factor too.
  Hate to say it, but these days not even a password is enough. Many of the services you use today—social networks, banks, Google, and so on—offer an added layer of protection. It can come in the form of a code sent to your phone via SMS, or if you want to step it up, through software solutions like Google Authenticator or hardware like a YubiKey. SMS should be enough for most people; just know that like many entry level security precautions.

4.  Biometric recognition

This is the fingerprint recognition that serves as your password. The device “reads” your fingerprint and unlocks when it recognizes it as yours. As no two fingerprints are the same, you’re assured a high degree of security.

The company offers a wide variety of its own signature beverages that ranges from coffee to non-coffee drinks and launched their very own signature drink; “The Original Ice Blended” in 1989 and has been the main highlight of its company ever since.
We will take a look into the possibility of bringing in a new product that could be a mainstay for the Ice Blended range that is already available here in Malaysia. Currently, the range of its Ice Blended drinks is limited to several coffee and non-coffee drinks. Although from time to time Coffee Bean has been introducing promotional and seasonal Ice Blended drinks, none of these drinks will be served in the main menu after that the promotion is over. With this.
Although a majority of Malaysians like to drink coffee oriented drinks,
With the introduction of the Honeydew Ice Blended to the market, it will help boost the challenge of bringing in new flavors for the market.

Organization used internet to promoted their businesses

Communication

Communication is one of the primary uses of the Internet in business. Email allows workers to communicate quickly with one another, business partners and clients. Unlike phone conversations, emails can contain hundreds of pages of documents and figures relevant to business communication. Using email to communicate data can save on the costs of printing and sending physical papers. Businesses can also conduct meetings over the Internet using video conferencing software, which can potentially save on the cost of business travel.

Advertising

Advertising is another way businesses use the Internet. Web pages are essentially like billboards that are transmitted right into the homes of consumers. Companies pay websites for ad space where they can attempt to entice consumers to buy their products or visit their website. An advantage of web advertising over advertising in media like newspapers, magazines and television is that advertisements can contain web links that allow consumers to purchase goods within a minute or two of seeing the advertisement.

Sales

Many companies use the Internet to generate sales. Companies often have online sales systems that customers can use to browse products and place orders by entering credit card information. Online shopping is convenient for customers, since they can shop at any time from anywhere, without having to visit a specific retail location. Online shopping also allows customers to compare prices between different vendors quickly and easily.

Public Relations

Companies may also use the Internet to interact with customers. For instance, some companies have social media pages on sites like Facebook and Twitter, where they can post news and information to keep loyal customers informed about the company's activities. The Internet also allows companies to get feedback from customers via email submissions or web-based surveys. Companies can even use the Internet to recruit employees, either through an official website or by posting job openings on aggregate job sites such as Monster and CareerBuilder.

Definition of Internet & World Wide Web

Internet 

The Internet is a computer network that connects computers worldwide.The Internet is made up of many smaller computer networks. These networks send and get messages using a standard Internet Protocol (IP). A protocol is like a language, that lets computers understand one another for all around the world. The Internet is used for many things such as e-mail, online chat, news services, forums and the World Wide Web (WWW).  WWW the most command used in the internet which contains websites, web pages, blogs and wikis.

WWW ( world wide web )

The World Wide Web is that part of the Internet which is made up of web sites. Each Web site is made up of one or more web pages. The idea of the World Wide Web was put forward by a number of people, including Tim Berners-Lee (who has now been knighted in the United Kingdom!). It is only used to describe web pages that are connected to the Internet. For example web pages saved on a CD would not be considered to be part of the WWW. There is also a WWW organisation called the WWW Consortium that is dedicated to promoting web standards.

Equipment for internet network ( WIFI) 
Overview
Interested in setting up a wireless network in your home? You'll be able to keep your laptop, tablet, e-reader and other WiFi devices connected to the Internet from anywhere within the WiFi signal range. With wireless networking, you can download photos, stream videos and even print documents from every room in your house. There's so much you can do with WiFi, but you have to make sure you have the right home networking equipment first.

Here's a list of the networking equipment you need to connect your computers, tablets, game systems, and more to the Internet and to each other. Learn more about setting up your Wireless Gateway and connecting to your wireless network.
Wireless Gateway/Cable Modem Router
A Wireless Gateway (also known as a cable modem router) is a device that functions as both a modem and a router, which means you need only one device to set up your wireless home network. You can find a list of Comcast-approved Wireless Gateways that match your level of service at MyDeviceInfo.xfinity.com. Select your level of service (found on your billing statement) to see a list of Wireless Gateways that will work for your network.

The Comcast-provided Wireless Gateway 1 (Model Numbers TG852G, TG862G, SMCD3DNV, TC8305C), Wireless Gateway 2 (Model Numbers DPC3939, TC8706C) and Wireless Gateway 3 (Model Numbers DPC3941T, TC8717, TG1682G) also provide Xfinity Voice service and have four ports for wired connection to your network. These gateways support all residential Xfinity Internet service tiers through Extreme 105. They also come equipped with preset features that help you set up your wireless network in a quick and secure way. Learn more about Wireless Gateways from Comcast.
Modem
A modem is a device that connects to the Internet with a coaxial cable, the same cable that provides TV service to your TV Box. If you choose to use a modem, you will also need to use a router to complete your wireless network.

To see if you have a Comcast-approved modem, or to find out which modem is right for your level of Internet service, look for its name at MyDeviceInfo.xfinity.com. Select your level of service (found on your billing statement) to see a list of modems that will work for your network.
Router
A router is a wireless capable device that transmits a wireless signal. Wireless devices, such as laptops and tablets, use this signal to connect to each other and the Internet through a modem.

Wireless routers typically support one of two wireless standards, Wireless-G or Wireless-N. Wireless-N is newer and Comcast recommends that users with Blast! or Extreme Xfinity Internet service upgrade to a Wireless-N router. While you can access the Internet with all routers regardless of your speed tier, a Wireless-G router may prevent you from getting the maximum possible speeds.
