When you cross the street, you look both ways to make sure it’s safe. Staying safe on the Internet is similar. It takes some common sense steps.
- STOP: Before you use the Internet, take time to understand the risks and learn how to spot potential problems.
- THINK: Take a moment to be certain the path ahead is clear. Watch for warning signs and consider how your actions online could impact your safety, or your family’s.
- CONNECT: Enjoy the Internet with greater confidence, knowing you’ve taken the right steps to safeguard yourself and your computer. Protect yourself and help keep the web a safer place for everyone.
The Anti-Phishing Working Group (APWG) and National Cyber Security Alliance (NCSA) led the development of the STOP. THINK. CONNECT. campaign. The U.S. Department of Homeland Security provides the Federal Government's leadership for the STOP. THINK. CONNECT. campaign.

Security concerns come with BYOD
Thirty-nine per cent of enterprises have experienced a security breach due to employees bringing in unauthorised devices – most commonly in the fast-moving consumer goods (FMCG) and pharmaceuticals sectors, according to the survey.

Oxford Muses on Mac Flashback: Worst Outbreak Since Blaster
So how bad was last month's Mac Flashback outbreak and who suffered the most? Our guess: it was bad, and university IT help desks.
And it looks like our guess might not be far off the mark.
===> Oxford University Computing Services' network security team (aka OxCERT) has written that they dealt "with what is probably the biggest outbreak since Blaster struck the Windows world all the way back in the summer of 2003." <===
OxCERT dealt with around 1000 incidents for Blaster. They've seen several hundred Flashback incidents… "and they keep on coming."

To help consumers understand online risks and practice safe behaviors, Webroot security experts recommend the following:
- Phone home safely - Mobile malware is on the rise, especially on Android devices, so take a moment to swing by the marketplace or app store to install a mobile security application that will safeguard your device against attacks. Many security apps can also help you locate your phone if it is lost or stolen.
- Be wary of WiFi - It can be tempting to take advantage of free WiFi access points in airports, hotels or cafes, but resist the urge to use those connections to do anything other than browse. Unsecured wireless connections can leave you vulnerable to a variety of risks, from data-stealing malware to wireless snooping of your logins or email messages by other travelers and guests.

How to create guidelines for responsible use of social tools. ... 1. Examine your school culture. Gain an understanding of how your community feels about social media.
2. Organize a team. Include both educators who use social media in the classroom and those who do not.
3. Research. Evaluate policies already in place at your school. Look around at other schools. See what they’ve done. Get a sense for what works and what doesn’t.
4. Write a draft and solicit feedback. This is the hard part, says Anderson. Gather the information you’ve collected and ask others to weigh in. Schedule meetings and talk to stakeholders face to face.
5. Have the draft vetted by the school attorney and school board. Make sure your policy does not violate any current laws, policies or ordinances.
6. Introduce the policy to the community. Every team member should be tasked with reaching out to different stakeholder groups, says Anderson. It’s important to be open and transparent.
7. Conduct periodic reviews. Your new social media policy should be “a living document that is revisited often.”

So you may have heard of this term: Bring Your Own Device (BYOD). If you haven’t come across it, it simply refers to individuals taking their own smartphones, laptops and tablets to work to connect and ‘sync’ them with the company network.

At any given moment today, on-the-clock employees are updating their social media status, reading feeds and networking on business media sites.
Remember that hackers now target mobile devices such as smartphones and tablet PCs. Businesses should specify whether employees are permitted to access social networking sites from these devices and which apps may be used to do so.
Once policies are established, it may be necessary to reinforce them with a carefully considered combination of network monitoring and data protection technologies. In some cases, these technologies may already be in place as part of standard IT security measures.
===> If so, they should be configured to include social networking controls. <===

City University London showcases its course offerings at a major information security exhibition.
According to Kevin Jones, Professor of Dependability and Security: "This is our third year at Infosecurity Europe. We have been attending this important security industry exhibition, precisely because it is one of the key events for information security professionals and a good place to increase awareness of our course offering."
One of the important highlights of City's participation at the exhibition was Professor Jones' interview with Deputy Editor of Infosecurity magazine, Drew Amorosi, on the role of City University London in addressing the skills gap in the cyber security arena.

The same Java vulnerability used in the infamous Flashback malware is now being used as an attack vector for a single piece of malware that can infect both Windows and Mac OS X computers.
Security vendors have discovered a new piece of malware that attacks both PCs and Macs. It uses the same Java security vulnerability exploited by the Flashback malware that infected hundreds of thousands of Macs. While the attack vector is the same as in Flashback, this Java Applet checks which OS it is running on and downloads suitable malware for it.
