Sandboxie - Sandbox software for application isolation and secure Web browsing ▶ How to encrypt (almost) anything It's all too easy to neglect data security, especially for a small business. While bigger organizations have IT departments, service contracts, and enterprise hardware, smaller companies frequently rely on consumer software, which lacks the same sort of always-on security functionality. But that doesn’t mean that your data is unimportant, or that it has to be at risk. Encryption is a great way to keep valuable data safe—whether you’re transmitting it over the Internet, backing it up on a server, or just carrying it through airport security on your laptop. But first, a word about passwords Any discussion about encryption needs to start with a different topic: password strength. A strong password should be at least 10 characters, though 12 is better. If you’re unsure about whether your password is good enough, run it through Microsoft’s free password checker. Encrypt your entire hard drive 1. 2. The easiest way to see if your computer has a TPM chip is simply to attempt to enable BitLocker.

How to protect your PC from Prism surveillance Thursday afternoon, a bombshell dropped: Two leading reports claimed that the U.S. government has been spying on emails, searches, Skype calls, and other electronic communications used by Americans for the last several years, via a program known as PRISM. According to the reports, the Web’s largest names—AOL, Apple, Facebook, Google, Microsoft, Skype, PalTalk, Yahoo, and YouTube—participated, perhaps unwittingly. (Dropbox will reportedly be added as well.) According to The Guardian and The Washington Post , the data covered included: “email, video and voice chat, videos, photos, voice-over-IP chats, file transfers, social networking details, and more.” If nothing else, however, the PRISM disclosure is worrying and deeply shocking. Note that there is absolutely no guarantee that our tips will make your PC PRISM proof. So what can you do? Avoid using popular Web services This is an easy one. And there’s no sense in surfing using Chrome, Internet Explorer, or Safari, either.
Technology Your Security Is Our Priority Availability You need to always have access to your data, we've accomplished this in multiple ways, first we have 2 data-centers in production service, second we store your encrypted data on your local PC when you login, so that if LastPass.com can't be reached, you can still login to the add-on and get to your accounts. The website is usable without the add-on installed (the Encryption and Decryption happens in JavaScript which you can see happen on some forms), but we take advantage of faster encryption available in the add-ons if they're available. We also have a mobile site m.lastpass.com if you're on your phone. Security On Windows, LastPass helps find insecure passwords stored on your computer so you can store them securely in LastPass and remove the easy access by malicious software.

ShieldsUP! — Internet Vulnerability Profiling Your Internet connection's IP address is uniquely associated with the following "machine name": The string of text above is known as your Internet connection's "reverse DNS." The end of the string is probably a domain name related to your ISP. This will be common to all customers of this ISP. But the beginning of the string uniquely identifies your Internet connection. The concern is that any web site can easily retrieve this unique "machine name" (just as we have) whenever you visit. If the machine name shown above is only a version of the IP address, then there is less cause for concern because the name will change as, when, and if your Internet IP changes. There is no standard governing the format of these machine names, so this is not something we can automatically determine for you. Just something to keep in mind as you wander the Internet.
