Welcome to the second instalment of our Glossary, we had some good feedback from last week’s instalment and we look forward to your feedback this week too.
This week, we are continuing with:
Back Door
A Back Door is an area within an application, normally developed to allow the developers access to install updates and fix problems with the application. The Back Door must be kept secure and hidden at all times otherwise a hacker could find it.
Background Scanning
This is a feature in many Anti Virus applications, it allows the Anti Virus software to scan all new files created or downloaded in real-time.
Backup
A Backup is a copy of your important data, this is probably one of the most, if not, THE most important computing task on the list. In business terms, a complete Data Backup can potentially save your company from failure. Read about Data Backup in one of our earlier blogs here.
The Glossary will continue next week.
In the meantime, should you have any questions, please feel free to contact us.
