“#2 Test the security of your network
“There are some specific distributions on the market which aim
at the niche of security specialists. The most famous and most
powerful of them is Backtrack Linux. It is a Live CD which hosts
lots of tools for security specialists. Even if you have no
security specialists on staff, it is worth it to periodically check
your network vulnerability using the most common testing tools.“Of course, you don’t need these tools in your everyday life,
that’s why having Live CD is the most convenient way to run the
checks.“Another purpose of Backtrack Linux could be forensic research
if you need to investigate any suspicious activity of users on your
systems.”
