Tools will take care of the heavy duty taks to block hackers automatically.<br \/>\u25cf Antivirus software: Protect our computer from viruses.<br \/>\u25cf Firewalls: Blocks unrecognizable internet traffic.<br \/>\u25cf Spam filters: prevents phishing emails.<br \/>\u25cf Password managers: Helps employees use strong passwords yet easy<br \/>passwords made for them.<br \/>Why Tools First?<br \/>\u25cf They work 24\/7, even when people make simple mistakes.<br \/>2.
