Security In A Box
First of all, you should know I’m talking about computer security, not home security.
Secondly, know that “in a box” really means something more like “all in one place”.
I’m suggesting this site this week because security is on my mind. Not only in a corporate sense, but in a personal sense. In a professional setting, I’ve brushed up against something that could conceivably heighten scrutiny of my own personal foot-print on the internet. And, I’ve had a particular address from a particular Eastern European country banging against on of my WordPress installations pretty hard this past week. All of which added up to me checking my collected links for a security themed site I could share with you all.
The site is called Security In A Box and it’s a collection of tips, advice and links to programs meant to help keep you safe on the internet. Their advice covers everything from creating good passwords to staying safe on social media. And, they have group-specific suggestions for special interest groups who might have an additional level of scrutiny, either by other special interest groups or governments. It’s quite a good site for everyone, of course, but of special interest to anyone who might find themselves at the sharp end of one of the many sharpened sticks running loose on the internet without keepers.
So, stay safe this weekend and enjoy the lovely weather while it lasts!
