1 Remote Access

2 What is the Remote Access Domain? remote access: the ability for an organization’s users to access its non-public computing resources from external locations other than the organization’s facilities

3 Dangers of Remote Access EPIDEMIC!Peeping Toms! www.top10always.com www.redbubble.com

4 Rule #1 NEVER share logon credentials with anyone. www.simplenomics.com

5 Rule #2 Use strong and memorable passwords. – www.passwordmeter.com

6 Rule #3 Do not use public devices. – Library workstations – Kiosks – Web cafes STARBUCKS www.patsyearnshaw.co.uk

7 Rule #4 Do not use personal devices. – If use of personal device is necessary, no copying. www.puntacantv.com

8 Rule #5 Use only company email for remote business. www.thinkprogress.org

9 Rule #6 Implement anti-virus and anti-spyware. – Run them continuously. – Update them. www.dailyadvisor.net

10 Rule #7 Ensure you are only connected to one network at a time. No split-tunneling or dual homing. BAD

11 Rule #8 Only use “administrator” profile to update profile or make system changes. www.iconfinder.com

12 Cloud computing What is it? What are and aren’t safe practices?

13 Wireless technology standard for exchanging data over short distances using short-wavelength radio transmissions. – Disable when not being used – Use a PIN that is at least 8 characters long combining numbers and letters if possible

14 Infrared connection (IrDA) Infrared technology allows computing devices to communicate via short-range wireless signals. – Turn off when not using – Requires line of site, don’t use in crowded area around a lot of people – To keep secure, do in a private area in close range (4 to 20 “ apart)

15 Near Field Communication (NFC)

16 NFC uses Radio Frequency Identification Technology to transmit information over very short distances (centimeters or less) Turn off when not using feature Don’t use tags that aren’t secured Don’t exchange info with individuals you don’t trust Look at phone to see what actions the tag prompts. Is there anything suspicious?

17 Quick Response (QR) Codes Use a QR scanner that shows the URL and asks if you want to go there. Don’t give out personal information or login credentials to any sites you’re directed to. Look out for suspicious QR Codes like ones on stickers stuck over original QR codes.

18 Cell Phone Basics Phones, tablets, etc. 1.Only download applications from sites you trust and only after checking each apps’ rating and reading the user reviews to make sure it is widely used and respected. 2. Set a password on your phone 3.Watch for suspicious links 4.Be careful what you do at unsecured WiFi hotspots or don’t use at all. 5.Keep spyware from watching you * *

19 Cell Phone Spyware No good way to be 100% sure phone is not compromised Factory reset done by provider should in theory remove any spyware (also lose all files, photos, etc. stored on the phone). Anti Spyware apps do exist not certain how effective they are. Generally requires physical contact with target phone to install. Could also get in through SMS messages and Bluetooth connections. May notice strange sounds, background noise, decrease in battery life, phone being warm when it hasn’t been used, phone “lighting up for no reason.
