Concordia College Securing Your System Discussion

I’m working on a writing discussion question and need an explanation and answer to help me learn.

After reading about securing your system, you know you should have a good security setup and backup strategy in place for your key data. Answer the following question: 

1. What measures (Operating system, application software, network, hardware, etc…) are there in your computer to secure your data from hacking? 

2. How often do you back up critical data files such as homework files? What type of device do you use for backing up files? Where do you store the backups to ensure they won’t be destroyed if a major disaster (such as a fire) destroys your computer? Do you use online sites for file backups?
