Desktop and laptop grouping them together because they are so similar the device they self-are not security concerns. It the operation system that would have the security concerns, that is why they have patches for the OS.
Server this goes back to the OS, but with a server, you have a different level of access can be assigned to users. A report that conducted by Kaspersky Labs ("Global IT Security Risks Surve2014," 2014) stated that even virtualized have security risk that needs to watch.
Netbook security concerns mostly know as Google these have Chrome OS, which runs Linux the major security risk that could be associated with the Netbook is that the source code is open source. However, mostly the device have a distributor that would issue the OS of Linux, by doing this they may lock down the source code to wear it could be access. Moreover, Linux does not have too many virus or threats known to its name this makes to where not too many threats. …show more content…
Also, make sure that the OS is up-to-date including all the software.
Firewall these devices are designed to keep threats out of the company network, but unfortunately, the devices are configured by humans which can have error or security risks put in place to take over the network.
Routers these are the same setup as the firewall, by users to config the setting the one thing the company does not want to do is use the default setting for any router. Routers are the essential, but workhorses of modern computer networking yet few users realize they are computers, with their operating systems, software, and vulnerabilities.
Switch security concerns again this would be the same as router and firewall these devices are set up by humans. So the interaction they have with them has to be careful that plans are laid out for setting up the
