Encryption = Peace of Mind

My “Harry” arrived way earlier than I expected. He’s been with us since Sunday noon and I’m so pleased to have my early Christmas present (thank you blogging money!). I’m taking my time exploring and adjusting to a HP keyboard (it has a numpad, by the way). Not much difference but of course, it still feels peculiar tinkering a new gadget. I’m still using my old Acer laptop as of this writing because the husband isn’t through installing all the necessary software. He also insists that we buy first a new mouse and a keyboard protective screen and install all those computer protection whatchamacallits.
Honestly, I know nothing about all these techie stuffs that’s why I let the husband take charge. After all, it’s his line and I trust his expertise. I think he’s yet to install a number of software like MS Office, Adobe Photoshop (as per my request for my digiscrapping), an anti-virus software and last night, he is also considering to avail an encryption web-based service before I start using it. He knows that I engage in online activities that shares confidential and critical data over the web so it’s just imperative that I secure my laptop from malicious network intrusions and hacking. This prompted me to research about what they term as full disk encryption and look for internet authority that provides a reliable service.
It’s from Alertsec Xpress I’ve learned that indeed, having an encryption service provides 100% protection to my laptop from hacking and online data theft activities. It protects by transforming sensitive information to make it unreadable using an algorithm just like how our credit card details are secured whenever we pay online via encrypted sites. The Alertsec Xpress is based on the Check Point Full Disk Encryption software solution, the global leader of encryption service. The software is easy and fully customizable and surprisingly, the monthly rate is just at $13/month. Just a meager cost to grant peace of mind over one’s laptop’s sensitive information.
