Web-CMS
A web-content-management system (WCMS or Web CMS) is content management system (CMS) software, usually implemented as a Web application, for creating and managing HTML content. It is used to manage and control a large, dynamic collection of Web material (HTML documents and their associated images). A Web CMS facilitates content creation, content control, editing, and many essential Web maintenance functions.
Usually the software provides authoring (and other) tools designed to allow users with little or no knowledge of programming languages or markup languages to create and manage content with relative ease of use.
Measures or practices to protect computer systems against virus attacks
With an estimated 40,000 viruses already identified and some 300 new viruses created each month, keeping a computer free of viruses is a daunting but not impossible task. The following are steps every computer user should follow to protect his or her computer from viruses.
- Install an anti-virus software program to identify and remove viruses before they can cause any damage. These programs scan, or review, files that may come from floppy diskettes, the Internet, email attachments, or networks, looking for patterns of code that match patterns in the anti-virus software vendor’s database of known viruses. Once detected, the software isolates and removes the virus before it can be activated.
- Because the number of viruses is increasing all the time, it is important to keep anti-virus software up to date with information on newly identified viruses. Anti-virus software vendors are constantly updating their databases of information on viruses and making this information available to their customers via their web sites or email.
- Do not open email from unknown senders or messages that contain unexpected attachments. A user should delete these types of messages. As a general rule, a user should scan every email attachment for viruses before opening it, even an expected attachment as the sender may have unknowingly sent an infected file.
Knowledge of IT infrastructure
Users or non-IT professionals must know enough knowledge of IT infrastructure to be able to communicate their needs to IT professionals who can provide them with the devices they need for their works. If users or non-IT professionals are in the position to choose among various options and make a decision on certain hardware pieces, they must be sufficiently knowledgeable about hardware for their use. For example, users work in CAD (Computer-Aided Design) field must have at least computer background or IT literate, in order to for them to duly understand how computer does rendering for three-dimensional (3-D) model, or how much memory space will be consumed for animated modeling. Because they are the one who using the hardware, they must thoroughly understand what class of infrastructure can really help them out and clearly convey their thoughts to IT professionals.
In addition, knowledge of infrastructures with new technologies might give users or non-IT professionals idea about how to develop new products and services to improve their organization’s competitive position.
