So I inherited this laptop at work. It seems to have a fresh install of Windows 7. This laptop would be used to maintain and process online orders through the company website and therefore contains sensitive data that I think should be protected. Management laughed at me when I mentioned we needed to invest in some kind of security software! ( Yes, they did laugh - "Are you serious?" ) This laptop would be the only one that deals with customers online as well ( Support, Questions, and all that ) I'm required to routinely open files customers sends as attachments ( usually pics and pdf )
After much talking, they said I can have $100 for 1 year to invest in some kind of security suite if it puts me at ease! When I asked an online buddy, he recommended Symantec Endpoint configured in a way to block out everything else except the company site and necessary support sites. I'm not really an advanced IT guy to configure Symantec properly, maybe a managed single unit license? Idk! I wouldn't mind personally investing another $100 or so if need be to ensure a relatively worry free working laptop! What do you guys think? Suggestions? Comments?
P.S: I'm very aware that there might be suitable winners that I may have never even heard of! so feel free! I'm also willing to learn how to configure it correctly as long as it won't take me 4 years and a degree to do it!
