In order to prevent cyber risks due to misconfiguration of one's device, it is advisable that, before one starts using the device, it is entrusted to an IT expert to carry out the configurations.
Configuring a device may seem like a simple and ordinary task, but configuring it correctly to prevent all possible threats and risks is much more complex than one might think.
Just think, for instance, of the installation of a home Internet network. The configuration of a router and the subsequent settings of the Wi-Fi network, a firewall and the settings of channels and bandwidth through which the signal is transmitted require uncommon knowledge. In fact, in the event of an incorrect configuration, one would risk making the Internet network easily or, in the worst cases, freely accessible to external devices that do not belong to us.
More generally, one can therefore imagine how crucial it is that the configuration of devices is carried out by experienced and qualified personnel.
If one is already in possession of a device and has been using it for some time, it is very complicated to carry out a check on the correctness of all possible configurations that have been made on the device.
