  • Your security software, antivirus and antimalware is only as good as its latest update. As malicious software is discovered on an ongoing basis, security software companies update their security definitions daily -- or more -- to recognize these new threats and counter them.

    It is equally important to update your computer or device operating system -- Windows, Android, iOS, etc. -- and devices including routers, printers and other digital equipment, on an ongoing basis to close vulnerabilities. Vulnerabilities are flaws in computer systems and devices that leave it vulnerable to attack. Software and digital device companies develop fixes to close these vulnerabilities and then release them as software patches and fixes. Downloading and installing these updates means that you are now protected from vulnerabilities that are known by the manufacturer or developers.

    Most people don't update their home router's, or Internet of Things devices' embedded software. However, any software-controlled device can have a vulnerability, including your home router. Visit your home router manufacturer's website and check. Newer routers allow you to check and install router updates right from the router homepage.
