The 3 Crucial Tools for Protecting Your Privacy Online

Protect your privacy online

Today cyber crime is a huge threat and special tools are required to protect you online

 
 

   Few people are comfortable leaving their homes or cars unlocked. It’s just too easy for someone to break in and take your valuables. There’s a lot at stake, both of a sentimental and monetary nature.

   However, for some reason, people aren’t as careful with the most valuable thing of all – their very identity. The biggest threats to our livelihoods no longer come from break-ins or muggings. They come from cyber crime.

   It’s easier than ever to steal someone’s identity, and it doesn’t require a genius to do it either. Any hacker worth their salt can do it if you’re unprotected.

   As such, it is crucial you have the proper tools installed to protect your information online. Here are the 3 crucial tools you need.

   1. A VPN (Virtual Private Network)

   When you use the internet, your server sends out signals, telling websites where you are and sending other relevant data across. Sticking to secure websites is a start, but it doesn’t do much to prevent hackers from tracking you and your data. A virtual private network (VPN) does just that and it is the most potent tool to protect you.

   A VPN routes your connection through an external server, making it look like you’re somewhere else. It also encrypts your data. Click through to learn more about VPN encryption. You don’t need to know all the ins-and-outs to benefit, as they are intuitive to use no matter what your background.

   2. Password Manager

   One of the very people who created password regulations finally admitted to what tech experts have known for a long time. Making P4s$w0rd! your password will not protect you. Software can be programmed to read 4 as A when trying to decipher a password and it will take no extra time. Those regulations make it difficult for humans to remember or decipher passwords, but that’s not really where the danger lies.

   Good passwords should be long, have a random combination of words or letters, and must be different for each account. But this is not very practical if you’re trying to remember them all. A password manager remembers them for you, but goes a step further. It comes up with passwords for you in the first place, so that you are as secure as you can get. Stealing or deciphering passwords is still one of the most common ways hackers get into accounts.

   3. The Old Antivirus

   Antivirus software might seem like some to be a relic from the past. We remember the way it slowed down our computers while barely protecting us. But it has evolved since then to be lightweight and very effective. Viruses can still decimate your computer and lay waste to all your protection.

   There is a constant debate running over whether Macbook’s need antivirus software or not. There are many experts who say they don’t. There are many who say they do – most notably, the creators of antivirus software themselves. It’s hard to say who is right, but it’s generally good to be safe than sorry.

   Use these 3 tools and your information will be much safer. Without them, you are at constant risk.
