My Internet Security
Internet security, this is very important to every family, professionals, individuals, or to those who are using internet. The internet is indeed a very big help to us to make tasks and jobs become lighter and easier. But there is also side effects of all these benefits. In the internet is where you can find all the viruses made and programmed to cause delay, unathorized actions, and even may cause the damage to your valuable computers.
That is why an internet security is always a must-have for all computers, especially those who are using the internet, and not only those who are using the internet but also those who are transferring files from an unsecured source to their computers.
Aside from anti-virus, a couple more are also needed, like an anti-spyware, an anti-malware, an anti-adware, etc… But these are commonly complete when you buy a licensed package of anti-virus. You just have to browse the internet and you will find a lot of these sites offering complete care package for your computers. This is one of the reasons why a free internet security is far distant from licensed ones. That is why free versions are normally out of my choices.
Drivers Patched
As a part-time job, I used to troubleshoot and repair computers of friends, neighbors, relatives, churchmates, my students and others. I could handle printer trouble-shooting, virus removal, reformatting or reprogramming, basic networking support, cleaning, computer diagnosis, a little programming etc.
Being a computer technician, I needed to become upgraded and updated with the trends, changes and evolution in the computer technology world. So I always download my important tools like drivers, printer drivers, video drivers, hp drivers, and the likes at a very up-to-date site I know, because these are my investments and not just tools. Drivers software are very important to me, they mean a lot to me as a computer repairman/technician. They help me become equipped with my job and to my everyday needs being a programmer as well.
Driver download is very accessible, comprehensive, simple and easy nowadays but not every can do it. And that becomes an opportunity to people like me, I just download and install for people and I get an instant cash. Computer drivers are easy to download in the internet, there are a lot of sites out there which offers downloads for free, and the sites are very comprehensive even to grade schoolers. People just have to explore and discover.
Better than PCI Compliance
Almost 234 million credit card holder data were either hacked into or leaked in the last four years in the whole world, which led to the institution of certain mandatory check points. Instance, Visa already made changes to its Account Information Security Program since October.
I’m not sure if you are already familiar with PCI DSS or Payment Card Industry Data Security Standard. If not, let me define it for you, It is a kind of a universal standard for security established by the PCI Security Standards Council. This standard needs to be followed by any organization that uses, processes or sends information pertaining to the credit cards issued by companies like American Express, MasterCard, and Visa.
Merchants become visa PCI compliant to comply with standards which does not actually guarantee or equal security. To date, a lot of merchants still get hacked because their credit card information could be hacked within their environment. However, there are already new solutions for this problem, one of those I know is the BrainTree’s.
