Two Factor Authentication, Next Step for Phone Security

Filed under PRO! Technology

Two_Factor_AuthenticationWhy do you prefer to shop at certain online stores but not at other stores? Well, the consideration why people shop at certain shops but not at other shop is usually influenced by the security of the payment method. When an online store is able to provide secure payment methods, customers will feel convenient to shop at their store. This condition will surely be advantageous for your business since customers will likely go back to your store in the future.

Therefore, providers of electronic payment keep trying to provide more secured payment method. One technology that is currently considered as a reliable authentication method for online transaction is Two Factor Authentication. In fact, this technology is also useful for remote workers that access the same database. Those remote workers usually need to login by entering their username and password. Using this technology, their login activity will be more secured.

After those workers enter their username and password, they will receive a phone call. They just need to answer and enter PIN. This technology is less costly compared to Smart Card. If you compared to RSA SecurID, this technology is much easier to use. In sum, all of these facts show that this authentication solution is safer, cheaper, and easier to use. Therefore, if you are running your enterprise business or using remote servers, you can consider using this technology.

How To Identify A Virus Infected E-mail Message?

Filed under PRO! Technology

email_virus.jpgIt is often difficult to identify an infected e-mail message. The way modern viruses and mass mailing internet worms function, messages can seem to arrive from friends or colleagues. In reality most infected messages are being automatically sent by another infected machine who has no idea their machine even has a problem. Since the virus or worm pretend to be the owner of the infected it can be hard for you when you get unexpected email messages from them. E-mail messages from people you don’t know (including and especially SPAM). These are usually the culprits that put a virus on your computer.

E-mail messages from friends or that you were not expecting (especially if they contain attachments). It is possible that these may not be from people you know, but may actually be spam messages. Attachments in an email with subject lines that seem inappropriate or strange, even if it’s from someone you know. You should NEVER EVER launch an attachment that ends with an .exe, .pif, .com, .bat, or .scr extension until you have scanned it with up-to-date virus scanner. Even files ending with .doc, and .xls (word and excel documents) can carry macro viruses and should be scanned.

It does not matter if you completely 100% trust the person it came from. SCAN IT. Never open SPAM email. Spam email is too easy to copy and use to send a nasty virus. If you do get a virus on your computer, you don’t have to panic. If a virus is active in the memory, the anti-virus software may not be able to detect it. If you really want to make sure your computer doesn’t have a virus, turn it off and reboot it using a disk that you know doesn’t contain any virus such as your antivirus software’s recovery disk.

Network Hardware Basics, Acknowledge This

Filed under PRO! Technology

computer_network.jpgEven a basic knowledge of networking is a major asset in today’s world. Even if you don’t want to get into the details of the subject, the ability to connect your computer to other computers, a router or a peripheral will save you a lot of headaches. It is also a good idea to have a basic knowledge of the equipment you need and what it does. In this article we look at the basic building blocks of a network and explain what the various pieces of hardware do. Of course, any network will need at computers. The most basic requirement of any network is that the various components are connected to each other.

Here, there are two choices. Cable or wireless. Ethernet cable remains the fastest of the two and remains an important building block of most networks, especially large business network where high data transfer speeds are essential. Although networks can exist without being connected to the , it is rare in today’s world. And for a network to connect to the internet a modem is required. Most modern home or small business networks will use a cable/ADSL modem. A router is essential for all networks as it provides the connection between the Local Area Network (LAN), which is the home or small network, and the Wide Area Network (WAN), usually the internet.

There is often a lot of confusion about the difference between switches and hubs. Both allow computers and devices within a network to communicate with each other, but there are some significant differences between them. Hardware firewall devices are not really necessary for home networks. The firewall software on your individual computers’ operating systems’ firewalls, and the security options provided by your router, should be more than enough to protect your network.
