SECURE YOUR DATA IF YOU ARE A ROAD WARRIOR
Some times ago I received a desperate phone call from a friend a continent away.
His portable computer had been robbed. That was bad. He was traveling for an important
financial negotiation and the computer was packed with sensitive data.
That
should not happen if one takes some simple precautions. There are many possibilities
to avoid such occurrence. You need to protect your data or have them backup
on a remote system from which you could download them back to your computer.
Even if the latter precaution had been taken, it is an absolute necessity to password-protect
your computer if you are a road warrior. However, one protection may not be enough
to save your life. Hackers abound now worldwide and your sensitive data may be
on the open very fast. So what to do?
- ENCRYPT
YOUR HARD DISK
Technology exists that encrypts the Hard Disk
and makes data secured beyond prying eyes. Some are expensive and fortunately
there are freeware around.
One of them is Cryptainer LE, a powerful
encryption software, Cryptainer LE is a powerful 128 bit encryption client that
creates multiple 25 Mb encrypted containers (vaults) on your hard disk.
These encrypted vaults can be loaded and unloaded when needed. You can view, modify
and hide all types of files with a single password.
User friendly Cryptainer
LE works the magic with all 32 bit versions of Microsoft Windows - 95/98/ME/2000/XP/2003
Server - and with all known file types. It allows you to password-protect and
secure any file or folder on any media, including removable drives (Flash Drives,
CD ROM's etc.)
Simply drag and drop the files and folders you want to
hide and that is. Your files are hidden!
Click
here to download a Free, fully functional copy of Cryptainer LE.
If
you need strongest encryption, you may buy Secure IT (from the makers of
Cryptainer LE) that uses 448 bit encryption and very high compression.
Both
utilities - Cryptainer LE and Secure IT feature a Secure e-mail module
that allows for the creation of self extracting encrypted files. The recipient
need not have neither of utilities installed to decrypt the files, all that
is required is the password and DeCypher IT a freeware utility. This utility
allows you to decrypt encrypted files generated by Cryptainer and Secure IT. Click
here to download DeCypherIT for free.
With Cryptainer LE or Secure
IT you are really secured against the bullying tactics of some countries policemen
or airport security guards. The encryption used by these security software is
statistically impregnable against brute force attacks. It would take more than
the age of the universe for all the computers in the world working simultaneously
to decipher a Secure IT encrypted file.
However, please keep in mind
that it is always good to have a remote backup of your sensitive data handy and
available for download in case of emergency. Just in case you lost your computer
or it had been submitted to "brut force attack". |

EXPORT AND IMPORT'S TIPS, RULES AND ROPES IN PLAIN ENGLISH
According
to WTO stats the lion's share of international trade is done by small businesses.
Small entrepreneurs can perfectly fight against the titans.
However, as
always, to succeed, you need to do some home work. Having for instance a
good market study tool that does the job of gathering valuable data is an
asset to beat the competition.
Visit
this site where are listed links to international trade sites; tips and guides
to importing and exporting; frequently asked questions about importing and exporting;
and a list of incoterms - terms used in international trade.
