Basic security tips used in a workplace.

- Use Windows 2000 or XP to allow for each user to have their own accounts on each computer. - Change the security settings on your own user profile (typically C:\Documents and Settings\Username) so that only you have access to it (and not administrators & you). - Implement 128-bit encryption on your wireless network so that data isn't being broadcasted in plain text. - Use a program like Window Washer 5 to clear out your internet cache and visited sites regularly. - Don't log chat files or if you need to, be sure they are stored in your profile what only you have access to. - Don't share accounts! - If you have others connecting to your wireless network that you don't want on it, either use a WEP key or implement a MAC address list of authorized devices into the router/access point to prevent unwanted users. - Don't store sensitive data in an open location where a lot of people can access it.

If all else fails, stop cheating on your spouse.

How data can be transferred using wired and wireless methods?

This is assuming that there is no outside access to the Ethernet network such as a Internet connection. If there were then firewalls would be needed to prevent a outside intrusion of the network. In addition to physical access security, a wireless network requires authentication and encryption to prevent unauthorized devices from connecting to the wireless network or capturing and decoding the data that is being transferred via a wireless network connection. If the wireless network has outside WAN access then you would also need firewalls as with the Ethernet network.
