The IT Administration and Support Factors

How knowledgeable and updated are System and Network Administrators of new threats, latest news and updates?

The questions are systematically arranged to drill down on each aspect of IT Security. It points not only to the IT Administrators, but it clearly reminds us that security depends primarily on the
(1) activity and knowledge of users,
(2) implementation of IT Security Policies,
(3) current and existing hardware-software solutions for security.

The AVG Online Security Audit is free and is very much worth spending 10 minutes of your time. This is recommended for both IT Administrators and CEO/CIO Managers.

Remarkably, the audit is not a marketing and advertising scheme to attract readers to AVG. The systematic flow of questions will actually appeal to
(1) CEO/CIO Managers for re-thinking privacy and human-resources policies, and
(2) IT Administrators and Support can re-assess themselves on how keen they’ve been keeping watch on security.
