Ensuring Data Integrity

• Back-up Techniques : Regularly check up, must be done on a schedule (King's College does it three times a day)
• Frequency of Saving : This is to save documents from power cuts and computer crashes
• Virus Protection Facility : This stops viruses, un ortharised access and stops anything that is not requested. This can be done with a fire wall. If a virus does get through the fire wall anti virus soft ware must be installed.
• UPS Surge Protector : Uninterrupted Power Supply is attached to the electrical circuit and protects the computer from spikes and surges. These protect the computer from blowing up when spikes or surges happen.

Threats to my Computer

Peer to Peer Access : Where a group of computers are connected to one network. this can be a threat because if one of the computers gets a virus the whole system will not work.
