So interesting to me. So when I’m invited to blog events, when I’m supposed to be focusing on whatever, instead I gravitate to this fact, “sooo, what are you spending it on? Here’s where I think the biggest security holes are, what do you think?”, like that.
Which is how I ended up in a phone meeting with Dave Weiss, VP Solutions Developmen
The timing of the meeting was great, because the night before I was at their flagship store launch party.
I like the store, because it’s all white (you’ve seen my home).
It was at the party, that I heard about, “Smart Set Up“.
Smart Set Up – basically, they’ll help you get your phone up and working, before you leave the store. Email installed, voicemail, Twitter accounts setup, whatever it is you need, and all with security in mind.
They’ll help you create strong passwords, remind you to change them regularily, and to be aware of the value of the information now in your pocket (BYODish).
(I’ll throw in my 2 cents here: don’t click on stupid stuff)
This is a good email password: [j~w=A{v(%9cs8_t<3hif
I’d way rather have my credit card compromised,
than my email. Wouldn’t you?
On their end, the one you don’t see, they’re taking sercurity seriously.
You want them to do this, so you never have to. Things like securing data centres and networks, both virtually and physically.
That’s why you’ll never find me on a tiny provider; the smaller companies don’t have the money, and security is almost always the first thing to get cut at budget slashing time.
I talk a lot with my hands, a lot
Think I was demonstrating locking down a data centre here, to the people on the phone :|
