Secure Your Palm Devices

The more laptops and mobile devices are used, the greater the chance that corporate security is at risk. How many times have you read about a company that has lost sensitive data when one of its laptops was lost? You’d be surprised at how many of these breaches are not reported — the problem is really greater than you might expect.

To protect themselves businesses must invest in mobile security software. The ideal product supports multiple device platforms, protecting not just notebook computers but also mobile devices like Palm, BlackBerry, Windows Mobile, iPhone, or Symbian. The more device types supported, the better.

Look for handheld and laptop security solutions that support a wide variety of features:

  • Data encryption to keep on-device data safe
  • Locking of the device via password
  • Central management and control of all devices
  • Remote deactivation of a device when lost or stolen
  • Antivirus and firewall support to protect the user from spyware and other problems
  • Enforcement of company security policies

Not everyone who uses a notebook or a handheld device understands the need for security, so it’s important to educate employees about why security is important and what they can do to help the business keep its data safe. Laptop computers are stolen every day from cars, hotel rooms, coffee shops and airports. Even though most thieves have no interest in company data, it puts everything you do at risk and can cause you grief with government agencies in certain industries. It’s much less expensive to deal with these security issues proactively.

Don’t forget to consider personal mobile devices. Many workers use these handhelds throughout the work day and important and private corporate data may end up on these devices without your knowledge. A flexible policy on dealing with these devices and letting employees secure them with your support is better and safer in the long run, which is where the right mobile security software makes it all possible.

The Flip Ultra Camcorder – Is It For You?

The Flip Camcorder, designed by Pure Digital Technology is in the top 10 best-selling camcorders – you may know it as ‘The Flip’ as it is most commonly called.The Flip camcorder made by Pure Digital caused a fuss earlier this year by positioning itself in the market below the price point of traditional point and shoot camcorders.

There is a pouch for your flip that offers protection and means you can attach it to you jeans, jacket or skirt.You may be surprised to find out that the pictures from this little camcorder are every bit as good as the ons taken by the bigger boys in the camcorder world such as Sony and Panasonic.The Ultra Flip (frequently termed The Silver) can deliver upto 60 minutes of VGA quality video with 2GB of inbuilt memory.

The price of the Flip is also pretty appealing, although the conventional tape camcorders are starting to fight back with their lower prices and solid specifications.So what we have is a camcorder that retails for less than $150 and is ultimately as good as those that sell for more than $600.
