Helping consumers build a protective dome around their digital world.
PRLog - April 24, 2015 - DICKINSON, Texas -- Most computer users understand how to run an antivirus scan, and know enough to keep passwords private, but very few truly understand the ins and outs of cyber security – from keeping piggyback users off your Wi-Fi network to maintaining a positive personal profile online.
Mike File, a retired teacher, and owner of the House of File Technologies, has written a detailed “How-to” checkup to help people everywhere maintain their security in cyberspace. This cyber defense checkup is available for free from Mr. File’s website at https://cyberdefense.biz. This detailed document walks computer users step-by-step through good security practices, how to set up secure passwords (and keep them safe), how to keep from downloading bad programs and what to do if you make a mistake and do get a virus, how to protect mobile devices and instructions for setting up a Virtual Private Network. He has made this document available to anyone who wishes to download it, because he believes that people, who use computers and the Internet, should be informed about how to keep trespassers and cyber crime out of their digital lives.
He also has a detailed section on maintaining a positive personal profile online – including how to ask people to remove compromising photographs or false information about you from their websites. Plus, this checkup addresses teaching your children how to be safe when on the Internet. As a retired teacher, he understands exactly how vulnerable youngsters can be when accessing the World Wide Web freely.
All of this great information is there, free, for anyone to download and use. If you are new to computers and mobile technology, or at least new to getting “under the hood” and dealing with the inside mechanics of your devices, then you should go to the website and print out this guide. (It is available to download in PDF format.)
In addition to this free Home Cyber Defense Checkup, the House of File Technologies offers "Home Cyber Defense Weekly", a digital newsletter that discusses current cyber threats to the general population, and also provides reviews of new and soon-to-be-released technology. You can subscribe to this newsletter at the Cyber Defense site or by going to http://homecyberdefense.net.
