Technology Services is responsible for securing and maintaining the network
infrastructure that supports 30 schools, the LaFayette Educational Center
and the Board of Education building.

technology! We've selected the most interesting and frequently asked
questions (and answers!) to post here for your entertainment. |

True or False?
|
|
Worldwide virus traffic totaled about 900 million
messages per day in 2005.
True! And, according a leading
industry expert, it is expected to increase to 4.2 billion messages per day
by 2009. This is because most viruses are self-propagating, and users
are not as vigilant as they could be in the fight against virus attacks.
Here at fcboe.org, we take virus protection very seriously and have a number of
safeguards in place to protect our network. |

-------------- |
|
More than 50% of virus writers are now writing
spyware under contract; one more piece of evidence that hacking has evolved
from a mischievous hobby to a moneymaking criminal venture.
False -- the actual percentage is more
than 70%! Proof that we need to be more vigilant than ever in the
fight against unauthorized entry into our network. |
|
-------------- |
|
In 2006, we expect that SPAM traffic will comprise 53% of corporate and
74% of consumer email traffic.
True!
In
total, SPAM will comprise 57% of worldwide email traffic. User
behavior continues to be the best prevention of this problem and its impact. |
