Five Ways Safety Blackberry

This time Blackberry. A device that is not only a communication device, but also symbols of prestige. Ready to be displayed to anyone, anywhere and anytime.

However, not careless save your Blackberry. Secure data in it. Do not until the events that befall the campaign team members John McCain happen to you.

Early December and then, one of the team members panda campaign did not deliberately sell a Blackberry to the Fox TV reporter at U.S. $ 20. Even in the device that stored information campaign that is confidential. No wonder not if petinggi White House want the President-elect Barack Obama release his Blackberry before it are sworn?

So, how to secure your Blackberry? Here's how:

1. Treat your Blackberry as a PC.

You will not be shopping online, open e-mail attachments and check your bank account on the PC without activating the firewall protection, antivirus and anti-malware is not it? So, why not do the same in the Blackberry? A Blackberry is essentially a mini computer.

One great if you assume that viruses and malware is not a problem in the Blackberry. The only reason why we have not heard the spread of the virus infection in the Blackberry is because of the nature of malware has changed. First infection was to have fun and show off. Now crime is the financial background.

Without downloading software that can scan the problem and update the virus definitions, the owner of Blackberry tacit diinfeksi have the virus. The terrifying, so, according to research Smobile Systems, malware that infect most Blackberry is spyware. Spyware can spy on each e-mail and SMS messages in and out of Blackberry. Even in the remote can turn the phone and overhear a conversation that is.


2. Do not frivolous.
You are relaxing in Bali and activate Blackberry: checking and replying to e-mail related to work, and call your partners. You may also check your bank account.

Many Blackberry users are giddy when using the device. When the aircraft for example. Did you know that the person sitting right in the back seat you can see anything you are doing in the Blackberry?

So what? Be careful. Keep your personal information by not using your Blackberry place in the open or in the crowd. Also, do not bertelepon place in the huddle.

3. Do not be abandoned!

This suggestion is most reasonable, but had also become the beginning of disaster for the Blackberry users. Understandably Blackberry small, so easily on any; in the foodcourt, a restaurant when you meletakannya in the table, talking, and clips. Not just the risk behind, but also open opportunities for the thief, who can only retrieve sensitive data or install Trojan horse within a few seconds while holding the device.

4. Create back-up.

Well, you do not follow the suggestion no. 3, and now confused with the presence of your Blackberry. What can you do? Depending on your readiness.

If the Blackberry is owned by the company and you work at a company that has a Blackberry server, immediately contact the IT office. They can lock and delete the contents of your Blackberry from the distance.

If the Blackberry is private property, or if your company does not have the support of the above, consider installing software that can provide such capabilities at the top. Buying a program that provides remote access means you can lock the device so that other people can not access them. You can also backup card information stored on the Blackberry and delete them when you realize your Blackberry raib and will not return again.

Buying software means that the remote access unit is lost, not the data stored in it. And if your quick response, the company that sensitive data is not lost.

5. Use encryption.
Encryption is available in the device made RIMs. That needs to be done is to activate it. Unfortunately, not many do it.
