Bharat Bhise HNA on Mobile Cybersecurity Tips


Bharat Bhise HNA finds that many people don’t realize how vulnerable their mobile phones are to malicious attacks. Often, people only rely on built-in security functions within their mobile phone’s operating systems. Regardless of whether it’s iOS or Android, there are still risks and vulnerabilities in the operating system. And there are even more ways that a user may unintentionally put their mobile at risk that the OS can’t do anything about.

It always pays to remember that your phone holds a significant amount of personal data, along with access to all your accounts and photos. To ensure that data doesn’t fall into the wrong hands, Bharat Bhise HNA recommends the following:

1. Install an antivirus app
Just as in a PC, a phone will also need its specialized antivirus app. This is vital for people who do a lot of web browsing on their phone or rely on it a lot during travel. Malware could stand to glean a great deal of personal information out of your phone as you use it, so keep them from getting in.

2. Regularly apply the updates
It’s become something of a running gag online that people refuse to accept software updates on their computers or phones. But periodically updating the software on your phone and its apps employ the latest security patches available to them. Bharat Bhise HNA says that it’s no different from updating the locks in your home.

3. Connect only to secure WiFi
If you’re not on your phone data and will be connecting to a WiFi network, make sure it’s a secure one. Unsecured WiFi networks are prime hunting grounds for a hacker to intercept data traveling from the access point to your phone and vice versa, and they can mine that data for their use. Whenever possible, use a virtual network to encrypt your data.

Bharat Bhise HNA knows that for many people, their whole lives could be on their phones. By keeping your phones secure, you’ll be able to protect your most personal data and prevent prying eyes from using that info for the wrong reasons.

Bharat Bhise HNA Talks about Airport Cybersecurity: 97% Failure

Bharat Bhise HNA joins the rest of the world in reveling in the shocking news: 97% of the world’s airports soundly failed a cybersecurity test from ImmuniWeb. In the 2020 annual meeting of the World Economic Forum in Davos-Klosters, the WEF had expressed concern in the cybersecurity found in the world’s airports. After all, millions of travelers pass through these airports every year, traveling across the globe. Their most sensitive personal information and data get processed through the airports—for immigration purposes, visas, and more. Their addresses, social security numbers, personal information, and other vital information are all referred back to in these airports. So it goes without saying that it’s merely a reasonable expectation for airports to have foolproof security. Sadly, from what Bharat Bhise HNA understands from the results of the study, that is not the case. The Gaping Holes In a sweep of the 100 most prominent international airports in the world, ImmuniW...

Bharat Bhise HNA Observes Continuous Legislative Efforts on Cybersecurity

Bharat Bhise HNA and other experts are keen on renewed efforts, especially on the legislature, of beefing up the cybersecurity landscape on both federal agencies and private infrastructure. The latest bill to be filed exclusively dealing with cybersecurity is the Advancing Cybersecurity Diagnostics and Mitigation Act. Filed by Rep. John Ratcliffe (R-Texas) and Ro Khanna (D-Calif), the new bill hopes to strengthen the already-in-place digital protection programs under the Department of Homeland Security (DHS). The main project under the DHS is the Continuous Diagnostics Mitigation (CDM) program, the agency’s approach to cybersecurity for federal agencies. Under the new bill, the DHS is directed to codify the CDM project, and also gives policy development powers under the DHS Secretary. According to Bharat Bhise HNA, one unique feature of the new bill is its all-encompassing setup. If the bill becomes law, the DHS is mandated to make cybersecurity programs and policies avai...
