Think about it. When you go to the bank, you deposit your money, and you expect it to be there when you need to withdraw it. We deposit in the bank because we expect our money to be safe there, and we expect it to gain interest. Imagine, however, how you would feel if it were not there when you walked in the next time.<\/p>\n<p>Bank robberies were once pretty easy to stop; you remember all of those wild west shows, where a man in black would walk into a bank with a Colt revolver and say something along the lines of \u2018empty the safe\u2019? It was great entertainment, and the truth is that at the time, robberies were pretty easy to stop. After all, the criminal actually had to be present to win. Today, however, things are a little different, which is something that you\u2019re going to learn in your <a href=\"https:\/\/impactwindowswholesaler.com\/iticollege\/information-technology-training\">information technology training<\/a>.<\/p>\n<h2>The Evolution of the Bank Robbery<\/h2>\n<p class=\"alignnone\" title=\"Information Technology Security\"><img fetchpriority=\"high\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignright wp-image-6024\" src=\"https:\/\/impactwindowswholesaler.com\/iticollege\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/04\/Itsupport2-530x530.jpeg\" alt=\"Information technology security\" width=\"390\" height=\"390\" \/>One of the first things you\u2019re going to learn in information technology school, and particularly when it comes to <a href=\"https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Information_security\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">IT security<\/a>, is that no one has to be present to win. Bank robberies can happen while someone is hundreds of miles away, and more often than not, this occurs as a result of lax security. We cannot really recount all of the instances where a bank has been breached due to cheap hardware or lax firewall policies. Well, we could, but it would take more space than we have in this blog post.<\/p>\n<p>One thing we would like to point out is that no, not all routers belong in the DMZ, and the DMZ should not even be a thought in anyone\u2019s mind at a bank or other financial institution. Sure, it opens up all the ports, but it\u2019s like leaving your front door unlocked in a bad neighborhood. This practice would be the result of inept staff and it can have disastrous results. That being said, it needs to be addressed and addressed quickly.<\/p>\n<h2>Stepping up Institution Security<\/h2>\n<p>The security factor of information technology starts with the hardware. One of the things we mentioned before was the use of inappropriate hardware, for example, a $10 router where a $500 router would be more appropriate. The difference, really, is security options, and of course encryption. The next level is obviously going to be the people who are overseeing the operation, and you will learn all the skills you need in <a href=\"https:\/\/impactwindowswholesaler.com\/iticollege\/our-programs\/information-technology\/\">information technology college<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>One of the most important things for you to remember when it comes to security is that hacking does NOT happen in real life the same way it does in the movies. You know exactly what we\u2019re talking about; a group of people sitting in a dark room, looking at a large, glass panel display that shows things like: \u201cFirewall 1 Breached \u2013 50% hacked!\u201d. Anyone in the information technology field is going to tell you that this sort of thing doesn\u2019t happen, and is in fact, ridiculous.<\/p>\n<p>The detection of penetration and intrusion has definitely been stepped up, and it is now critical for companies to detect these occurrences as they are happening rather than beforehand because sometimes, it\u2019s just not possible. The world of information technology is changing every single day and we need to be ready for it.<\/p>\n<p>If you\u2019re ready to be a part of the future, give us a call and check out the programs we have to offer. Information technology classes are your gateway to getting into a lucrative career and saving the financial world.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><strong>For more information about graduation rates, the median debt of students who completed the program, and other important information, please visit our website:\u00a0<\/strong><a href=\"https:\/\/impactwindowswholesaler.com\/iticollege\/disclosures\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">https:\/\/impactwindowswholesaler.com\/iticollege\/disclosures\/<\/a><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>In 2017, financial institutions need more protection than ever.
