How secure is your computing environment?

7:42 PM  High Tech House Calls, Expert Computer Consulting  

What would happen if your  laptop or smartphone were stolen? 
  • Can you replace the data? 
  • Could the thief steal your identity by using the data on your laptop or smartphone?
  • Could someone drive by your house and read the data on your hard drive, or intercept the data you send from your laptop to the Internet, from your wireless network?
Here are some things you can do to minimize your security risks:
  • Password protect your computer and smartphone.
  • Have a backup procedure in place for all your data. Test the recovery procedure to make sure your backups are working.
  • Secure your wireless router by using the strongest encryption protocols your wireless router supports.
  • Encrypt sensitive data so that only those who know the key can access it.
  • Make sure your computing environment has up to date BIOS, hardware drivers, operating system and application software patches.

High Tech House Calls has achieved a  Comp Tia Security + certification. We can review your home or small business computing environment and suggest inexpensive and unobtrusive ways to minimize your risk.
