    Backup and Hard Drive Encryption

    Lot of people keep asking us if encrypting something means they are then GDPR compliant..... you can tell my response :( i can 100% confirm, Microsoft Bitlocker for drive encryption, with system center AV, Cloudberry backup software to Azure/Amazon is encrypted the entire way and works so...

    Backup and Hard Drive Encryption

    i think you may need to think a little differently about encryption - the disk is encrypted, but depending on how you encrypt depends the desination being encrypted. Example, if you encrypt a file with a 3rd part program, its encrypted no matter what, however if you use windows bitlocker, soon...

    Kali linux as main OS

    only potential downside is if you download all sketchy tools - they could have backdoors to giving up your personal data - if you stick to kali installed programs - and you are sensible with things cant see why you wouldnt

    Kali linux as main OS

    i dual boot my computer between windows and kali - if you current machine is ubuntu - kali is very similar, most if not all things "should" work. I have spotify, slack, and other apps installed no problems. i would say the complications come down to how good linux user you are. If you are good...

    DHCP or not ?

    That's the problem with static you have to know what is in use and what the IP is, DHCP you just fire and forget, drayteks are good!

    DHCP or not ?

    Also DHCP is good as the is less for you to do.... DNS names should be the thing you use more, as the network grows DHCP grows with it, static grows in problems

    DHCP or not ?

    It depends on your OCD, being an engineer I like to know all my statics are between .1 and say .50 and anything above .51 I know it's a non critical infrastructure device. But if it's a small network and you don't need to know to much, then yes reservations are good, just you can't choose the IP...

    DHCP or not ?

    Small number of static IPs for things like routers and servers, then DHCP for everything else. If you have a lot of devices set the lease to something like 1 day or 3 days. Only things that should be static are large common devices likes printers servers routers etc. DHCP doesn't have any...

    http://www.winmaildat.com/ is a good start, i used it randomly. i dont know if i would trust it with secure private info but if your ok with potentially the owners of the site having the file its good. Its down to rich text / html / plain text formatting on emails.... most commonly when OSX...

    Internet Security While Traveling for Business

    yes a VPN is the first answer, https is a good thing as well but no guarantee, i'm a security tester and if i was to setup my own fake network in a starbuck i could remove or replace the https of sites. By far the best method is a VPN from your workplace. A good VPN will be fast as well, some...

    Is Outlook for Apple really this bad? or is it just MS?

    we use it a lot, its not as good as on windows but never had a problem. Are you using a workplace account if so you may need to put in the username as company\username instead of [email protected]

    Looking for NAS with Raid 1 capability

    Pretty much most of them do now so it depends on you're budget and user needs. How many people need it and what type of data will it be for? Western digital, buffalo and qnap are all great... To be fair most of them are now.
