It’s pretty common knowledge these days that you need to run some kind of antivirus protection on your computer. But it’s not commonly known that the computers that make up the internet are also at risk. What’s being done to protect them?
Viruses can attack servers that run websites, email and other internet functions. They’re not limited to desktop PC’s.
Most of these servers are really not all that different from the average desktop computer. They probably have more memory, bigger hard drives and faster CPUs but the underlying technology is much the same.
Because of that fact, they’re often vulnerable to the same viruses and other internet security threats that the average desktop system is. They also need to run antivirus software, firewalls and other forms of protection.
