		<description><![CDATA[Everyone has a USB stick these days both for personal use and they are used often in business. USB disks are great because they allow you to freely move around files from device to device. However USB disk security is serious business and is definitely a cause for concern. Many things can happen to your PC through a USB disk besides just transferring files. They can install malware, completely reformat your computer and allow people to easily steal your data. So you really have to be careful who has access to your computers with a USB disk. One of the ways to deal with this problem is with USB locks that do not allow anyone except you or someone you allow to place a USB stick in the computer. Another way that you can control your USB access is with software. USB disk security software offers you the ability to deal with some of these issues. These types of software can help thwart against attacks by malicious code as well as help stop data loss. There are also locks you can buy to put in your USB drives to make it so no one can access them without your permission. [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[We entrust so much to our email these days. All our important communications are saved there and we use it as a main communication source for both personal and business communications. So if you were to ever lose control of your Gmail account it would indeed be catastrophic for most people. There are a few things you can do to make sure your Gmail is secure. Your first line of defense is a good and unique password. Do not use children or pet’s names or your name and birthday or anything else that someone who knows you could possibly guess. You should also use something unique that you do not use on any other site. If a 3rd party site you are a member of is hacked and your email address and same password are there you just gave someone easy access to your Gmail account. You can and should check the IP activity on your Gmail account regularly. If you scroll down to the bottom of the page once you are logged in you will see information on the last IP address to have accessed your account if you click on the ‘more details’ link beside that it will [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[If you have a wireless network at home or at your place of business you really need to make sure you have a complete understanding of wireless LAN security otherwise you might end up being vulnerable to an attack. The first and most important thing is to make sure you have updated equipment and drivers on your wireless router. It is also key to have a router that supports WPA mode. WEP routers are outdated and can be cracked in a matter of minutes so using a WEP key string is not much different than not having any security at all. Another tip to keep your wireless network secure is to not broadcast your SSID. Your SSID is the name you give your network and if you are always broadcasting it that makes it much easier for hackers to find and hack in to. If your router gives you the option you should also consider reducing your WLAN transmitter power. Keeping your signal as close to just in your house or your place of business as possible makes it far less likely to catch the attention of a passer by looking to hack a connection. Another key to keeping your [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Windows 7 security is much greater than any version of windows security before. Although having a separate anti-virus is essential to security Windows 7 does have a lot of great security features built in. Here is a list of a few of new security features in Windows 7. Windows 7 BitLocker is a new feature that allows you to encrypt your drives or files with ease. You can even set it to automatically encrypt new data while it is running. This tool is completely hands off and adds a layer of security. The Windows 7 Action center is your portal to Windows 7 security tools. You can adjust security features here as well as manage the backup and restore functions. This one stop spot is a great reminder to keep your computer up to date and backed up. Microsoft also dramatically improved user account control which was a real failure point in Windows Vista. Windows 7 makes it easier for users to customize this feature and make it less intrusive. Windows 7 also now offers AppLocker which is a very useful tool for IT admins it gives administrators the ability to control exactly what applications users can run on the [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[With the recent release of the Apple iPhone 4, response and demand has been tremendous. However, with so much worldwide use of this device, some concerns regarding the iPhone4 security have been raised. The problem is that the iPhone 4 uses an operating system called iOS4. This is used on both the iPhone 4 and the new iPad. It has been reported over the past several months that there are potentially many flaws in this software which can impose large security risks. This software captures and stores virtually every keystroke and action taken on the device. It is therefore possible for a skilled hacker to gain access to a wide variety of sensitive information including credit card info, account numbers, passwords, social security numbers, etc. There have also been a number of other issues reported in terms of the vulnerability of this software to hackers. It was shown how a piece of software developed in Russia can enable someone to gain access to password protected iOS data backups. The reported security flaws have received attention and concern in limited circles. To date there have been no calls for extensive rewrites of operating software and downloading of patches. At the same [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[The iPad has been a very popular new device sold by Apple. If you use this device you may be concerned about the iPad security. Here is some information you might be interested in. Although Apple has an enviable reputation for producing secure computers, there has been many concerns expressed with the security and safety in devices like the iPad. This device uses a standard called iOS 4. A recent report indicated that a Russian software was developed which can enable people to gain access to password protected iOS data backups. Even more disturbing is the fact the iOS keeps virtually a complete log of everything a user types of the keyboard. This includes credit card information, account numbers, etc. In addition these types of mobile devices require frequent updates which increase the risk of security breaches even more so. It was reported by a French research firm called VUPEN Security that there are two major flaws which leaves iOS vulnerable. One is a memory corruption error which occurs when is processes a pdf file. And the other is an iOS kernel error. This means that an app could get low level access to the operating system. Apple has tried [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[If you are like many people you do many things online from ordering pizza to banking or stock trading. Many sites require you to sign in and have passwords or PIN number for your protection. It can be difficult to remember these and it is risky to write them down. Here are some great alternatives to remembering passwords or PINs. There are programs which store your passwords or PINs securely. If you visit a website which asks for your login information, you can retrieve it from this software by applying a master password. This means that you don’t have to remember potentially dozens of passwords or PINs to get into a secure site. Of course the risk is if someone gets access to your computer and master password, then they have access to all your stored passwords. However if you computer is a PC or is normally kept at home, the risk is not as great as if you took your notebook computer with you on trips or to work. It’s something you need to consider but this option is certainly convenient. There are software packages like RoboForm which stores the website login location and login information.

		<description><![CDATA[Safari was the only browser available for Mac OS until a couple of years ago, and Apple released a Windows version only in 2007. That is not to say the browser isn’t good. It is. It was made by Apple to closely integrate with their Mac OS, so that already says something about its quality. It looks great and it has enough features to compete with any current browser on the market. In fact it is number 3 by choice in North America (including Mac and PC computers; after Firefox and Chrome; we’re not counting the default installs of Internet Explorer) and is at a tie with Opera in the rest of the world. Despite having the same security features as the rest of the browsers, it could be argued that it is more secure, mainly because no hacker or scammer pays enough attention to it to actually create a virus, Trojan or malware that would use it to spread to the users’ computers. Let’s see some of the security and privacy features that make Safari a good choice for a web browser. Private Browsing. Safari, of course, has its own version of Private Browsing. In fact, it was one [...]]]></description>
