what is social engineering for computer network?
Weegy: A Social Engineer will commonly use email, the Internet, [ or the telephone to trick people into revealing sensitive information or get them to do something that is against policy. Some different types of social engineering are: Spam scams/phishing: deceptive e-mails designed to compromise computers, steal personal or private information or passwords, or trick you out of money. Impersonation: attackers pose as someone in authority, or an IT representative, in order to obtain information or direct access to systems.

Any sensitive information- paper or electronic- that is thrown away intact is vulnerable to dumpster diving. ] (More)

what are ways to mitigate the malware risks to computer networks?
Weegy: Use your head. The Internet is an open community with good guys and bad guys out there. [ You’d think twice about inviting a stranger into your home , so think twice about what strange software you want to invite onto your computer. Keep your operating system up to date and patched so your computer will be protected against the latest known security vulnerabilities. Windows users can do this automatically by scheduling windows automatic updates Keep your computer applications and plugins up to date too! Use a free software inspector program such as Secunia PSI to scan and detect vulnerabilities in out-dated applications and plug-ins. Always keep your anti-virus, anti-spyware, and anti-malware software current and up to date, and schedule regular scans. Always use Strong Passwords and don’t use the same password for everything! Use link scanners for Internet protection from malicious websites. W.O.T. (Web of Trust) and McAfee SiteAdvisor. Avoid using FTP – Straight FTP is insecure and all files, passwords and anything else can be sniffed. Always use FTPS (FTP over SSL) or SFTP (SSH File Transfer Protocol) encryption instead! Consider using Sandboxie, a smart tool that creates a virtual environment (or sandbox) on your PC isolated from your operating system and is great for application isolation, secure Web browsing, and opening email attachments in isolated space. Consider beta testing Cocoon, a Firefox addon that works off Cocoon's servers so that Internet applications, including malware, never touch your hard drive! Use REAL-time URL scanner such as Finjan, a patented behavior-based inspection technology. ] (More)
