Answer 1

It is highly important to ensure that the system is secure to avoid penetration by the third party authorities (i.e. untrusted servers, intruders like worms or viruses, or any other vulnerabilities of the cyber world).

For the heavy duty systems, check for the penetration using penetration testing ( or pen test ) must be conducted on the regular basis.

Since vulnerabilities are all over the network web, hackers are continuously finding many innovative ideas to penetrate these vulnerabilities in your system, time to time, to steal or infect it. It may result in huge loss in terms of information (steal the copyrighted information) and security ( for example, take the system down at any time).

Hence, in order to protect your system from such breaches, the core step is to make sure that the system is highly secure and their antivirus's databases are up-to-date to avoid intruder's penetration in systems.
