Journal Entry #5

The last lab that was completed dealt with networks and privacy. Understanding basic concepts regarding networks and privacy is key in any business and company. It is especially crucial to understand on today's world where technology is changing every second.

More important than just learning networks, privacy is also a part of technology that must be account for. There are a lot of hackers and other people who try to work their way into websites and other means of data to steal important information. This can damage a company and even make it so they collapse and cease to exist.

Companies that know the risk and account for them are able to make sure none of their data is stolen or made public to the Internet. As time goes on, there will be more and more ways to be attacked, but keeping up to date and understanding those risks will eventually lead to safety. This is one of the biggest problems facing Internet companies today and many are unable to see the risk and make the necessary changes to avert them.
