Most of the time intrusions occur because security is low and not well maintained due to incompetent security administrators (Koerner 54).PC security is never 100 percent effective (Dugdale 292). As the Internet gets faster and faster, network administrators want their networks to be as fast as possible so access to them is not sluggish.
