Phakathi nekota yokuqala ka-2023, ukuhlasela kwe-inthanethi emhlabeni wonke kukhuphuke ngo-7%, okuwukukhuphuka okukhulu kunezibalo zonyaka odlule. Kule minyaka yamadivayisi axhumene nolwazi lwemigwaqo emikhulukazi, ubungozi bamakhompuyutha ethu budlulela ngalé kwendawo yedijithali.
Ngakho-ke ake singene emhlabeni obambekayo wezingidi nokhiye. Ukugxila kwethu? Inkanyezi yokuphepha kwekhompuyutha ebonakalayo: ukhiye wase-Kensington. Ngempela, emhlabeni we-cyber ovela njalo, ukuzivikela akuyona nje inketho, kuyisidingo esiphelele.
Yini i-Kensington lock?
I-Kensington Lock ingumngane othembekile wekhompyutha yakho, esebenza njengentambo ethembekile ebophela ikhompyutha yakho ephathekayo entweni emile. Ngakho lihlala liqinile endaweni, kungakhathaliseki ukuthi liphezu kwedeski noma ngokumelene nodonga. Ngalesi sikhiya, ungajabulela inkululeko yokuhamba ngaphandle kokukhathazeka ngokuthi idivayisi yakho izolahleka.
Ubuchwepheshe ngemuva kwayo bulula ngokuqabulayo. Ikhebula eliqinile, elivame ukwakhiwa ngensimbi, lidlula endaweni ye-Kensington ukuze yakhe uxhumano oluqinile. Lesi sivimbeli esibonakalayo sibeka inselele kumasela angosomathuba ngoba sibeka isithiyo esibonakalayo endleleni yawo.
Kungani lolu hlelo lushintsha umdlalo? Kulula ukuyisebenzisa futhi ayidingi ulwazi lobuchwepheshe. Ngaphezu kwalokho, ubukhona bayo obubonakalayo bukhuluma kakhulu. Kodwa-ke, ezimweni ezinobungozi obukhulu noma lapho usebenza namasela azimisele, kunganikeza ukubambezeleka kunokuvimbela okuphelele. Kubheke njengokungeziwe okubalulekile kuqhinga lakho lokuvikela lilonke kunesixazululo esizimele.
Kubalulekile ukuqaphela ukuthi ukhiye we-Kensington akuyena kuphela oqhudelana naye endaweni yokuphepha ebonakalayo. Ezinye izixazululo, njengamapuleti anamathelayo ane-slot yokukhiya noma izindawo zokuphepha, aveza izindlela ezihlukile. Amapuleti anamathelayo ahlinzeka ngezinga elengeziwe lokuphepha ngaphandle kokudinga indawo yase-Kensington, kuyilapho izivalo zokuphepha zivale idivayisi yakho futhi ziyivikele ekuphathweni kabi.
Ukhiye we-Kensington ungathembeka ekuvikeleni igajethi yakho, kodwa kufanelekile ukuhlola ezinye izixazululo ukuze uthole leyo ehlangabezana kangcono nezidingo zakho ezithile.
Isoftware neFirmware Security
Ukuphepha kwe-IT akukhona nje ukuqinisa izici zomzimba; udinga futhi ukuqinisa izici zedijithali nezingabonakali. Manje ake sihlole indawo yesofthiwe nokuphepha kwe-firmware kanye neqhaza lakho elibalulekile ekugcineni impilo yakho yedijithali iphephile.
Abaphathi bephasiwedi
Ukuzama ukukhumbula inqwaba yamagama ayimfihlo ayinkimbinkimbi awo wonke ama-akhawunti wakho kufana namathoshi avuthayo avuthayo - iresiphi yenhlekelele. Yilapho abaphathi bephasiwedi besiza khona. Lawa mathuluzi awusizo akhiqiza futhi akhumbule amagama ayimfihlo aqinile, ahlukile awo wonke ama-akhawunti akho, okuletha inselele enkulu kubagebengu be-inthanethi. Umphathi wephasiwedi usebenza kalula kuwo wonke amadivayisi akho, okwenza ukuphepha kube lula futhi akuvumele ukuthi ugxile ezintweni ezibalulekile ngaphandle kokufaka engcupheni ukuphepha.
Amanethiwekhi Ayimfihlo Abonakalayo (VPN)
Amanethiwekhi ayimfihlo abonakalayo (ama-VPN) ayisikhali esiphezulu esiqinisa ukuphepha koxhumano lwakho lwe-inthanethi futhi akunike inkululeko yokuphequlula iwebhu ngokungabonakali. Ngaphezu kokuvikela idatha yakho emehlweni okubuka, ama-VPN anikezela ngezinga elengeziwe lokuzivikela ngokufihla ikheli lakho le-IP. Lapho ukhetha i-VPN evumelana kangcono nezidingo zakho, hlola amanye amathebula wokuqhathanisa we-VPN futhi ucabangele izici ezifana nezinqubomgomo zabo zokugawula, izindawo zeseva, nesivinini sokuqinisekisa imisebenzi ye-inthanethi ebushelelezi nephephile.
Ukuqinisekiswa kwezinto ezimbili (2FA)
Ukwakha ukuqina kuziqinisekiso zakho zokungena akukhona nje ukwenza iphasiwedi yakho ibe nzima kune-walnut. Ukuqinisekiswa kwezinto ezimbili kwengeza isendlalelo esengeziwe sokuphepha ngokudinga uhlobo lwesibili lokuqinisekisa. Kungakhathaliseki ukuthi ikhodi yomlayezo wombhalo noma ukuskena kwezigxivizo zeminwe, lesi sinyathelo esengeziwe senza ukungena kwezivakashi ezingafunwa kube nzima kakhulu. Yamukela i-2FA lapho kunokwenzeka khona ukuze wakhe inqaba yedijithali ebeka inselele yangempela kwabangaba abahlaseli.
I-Firmware Security
I-Firmware ihlela ukusebenza kwehadiwe yedivayisi yakho. Kodwa-ke, naphezu kwendima ebalulekile eyidlalayo ekuqinisekiseni ukuthi yonke into isebenza njengomshini ogcotshwe kahle, kukhona okubanjwayo: i-firmware ayigomekile ezingozini. Cabanga ngokuhlaselwa okunyenyayo kule software. Uma izigebengu ziphumelela, zingalawula idivayisi yakho zikude, zintshontshe ulwazi lwakho oluyimfihlo, noma ziguqule igajethi yakho ibe indawo yokwethula ezinye izenzo ezimbi.
Izibuyekezo ze-Firmware azigcini nje ngokungeza izici eziwubukhazikhazi; balungisa ubungozi futhi baqinisekise ukuqina nokuvikeleka kwesistimu yakho. Izibuyekezo ezivamile zinikeza inkundla yokuphoqelela ngokumelene nezinsongo ze-inthanethi, ukugcina umvikeli wakho othulile ebukhali futhi elungele ukubhekana nanoma yiziphi izinselelo umhlaba wedijithali oziphonsa kuzo.
Kuhlelo olukhulu lokuphepha, akwanele ukuthembela ohlangothini olulodwa nje locingo. Amathuluzi afana ne-Kensington Locks, ehlanganiswe nezinsimbi ezisindayo zedijithali, enzela iqembu lokuvikela amaphupho. Le nhlanganisela iqinisekisa ukuthi ikhompuyutha yakho ayivikelekile kuphela ngokomzimba lapho usohambweni, kodwa futhi ihlonyiselwe ukuhlangabezana nezinselele eziguquguqukayo zezwe ledijithali elihlala lishintsha.
Isiphetho
Ukuthola ukuvikeleka okuqinile kudinga ukuhlanganisa ngaphandle komthungo ukuzivikela ngokomzimba kanye nedijithali. Ngenkathi izingidi ze-Kensington zinikeza isendlalelo esibonakalayo sokuvikela, umhlaba obonakalayo udinga ukunakwa okufanayo. Izixazululo ze-antivirus, abaphathi bephasiwedi, izindonga zokuvikela, amanethiwekhi ayimfihlo abonakalayo kanye nezibuyekezo ezijwayelekile ze-firmware zivikela izakhiwo zakho zedijithali.
Kubalulekile ukusebenzisa isu lokuphepha le-IT elibanzi. Ukuvikeleka kwezingxenyekazi zekhompuyutha okuhlinzekwa yi-Kensington Lock kufanele kuhlanganiswe ngaphandle komthungo ekuhleleni okuyinkimbinkimbi kwesofthiwe nokuvikelwa kwe-firmware. Ngokuxhumanisa lezi zingxenye ngezindlela eziyinkimbinkimbi, udala i-tapestry yokuvikela ekwazi ukumelana nezinselele ezilethwa izinsongo ezingokoqobo nezingokoqobo zokwakheka kwedijithali.
