| Theft - Ways to Protect Your Data or Computer | Purchase systems to lock computers in specia; cabinets or use durabled cables to tie them to the desk. Video cameras surveillance is a very effective for areas with a large number of computers. |
| Damage - Ways to Protect Your Data or Computer | Make sure that the computers and monitors are placed on stable surfaces. Position all wiring so that people won't trip over it and pull the computer or monitor over. |
| Data Loss - Ways to Protect Your Data or Computer | Can occur through hackers, hardware failure, power spikes, accidental deletions, or disgruntled employees. |
| Backups - Ways to Protect Your Data or Computer | Should occur regularly and backup copies stored in another location. |
| Power - Ways to Protect Your Data or Computer | Two kinds of problems: outages and surges. Having an uninterruptible power supply (UPS) can provide some protection against total data loss. |
