DON’T LET YOUR PRIVATE PAPERS FALL INTO THE WRONG HANDS.

Many offices use a shredding service and think that their documents are secure.  This isn't always the case!  Even if you use an outside source, your company is still ultimately responsible should there be a breach and data gets into the wrong hands.
​KEEP YOURSELF SAFE FROM A SECURITY BREACH – CONSIDER SHREDDING IN-HOUSE
  • Reduce costs by 20 – 40% • Control the handling & destruction of your sensitive documents & media reducing exposure to external forces and increasing regulatory compliance
  • Ensure documents are destroyed and illegible by shredding at a higher security level.

SHRED SERVICE = VULNERABILITY
Security Level: Most shred services use pierce & tear technology that simply rips into large pieces, creating an increased risk that key confidential information is still readable after destruction.

Handing Off Custody & Control
  • Does your provider do background checks & insure their employees?  Did you know the most shred service technicians are not bonded and insured should a breach occur? Using a outside service provider to handle your confidential materials increases the risk of falling into the wrong hands and your liability. Is it worth taking the risk?  
  • Document Retention When using a shred service, documents are retained for extended periods of time in locking shred bins.  As the bins fill up, documents are easily accessible as shown in this picture.

Tips for cleaning up your public profile

Picture
Now more than ever, employers use the internet to research candidates for hiring or admission.  Do what you can to make the most of your public image.

1.  Search Yourself!
See what others see about you online by running your own search.  Before running your search, log out of your browser and clear you cache and search history, so search engines pick up the same information a new searcher will see.  Search fo your name on major web browser and social networks.  View  your social media profile as "public" to see what people who are not friends or followers would see.

2.  Clean up what you can.
If you find photos, posts and personal information in your social media accounts that you'd prefer not to share with the world, delete them or check your privacy settings to ensure they're not visible to anyone outside your social network.  If you find photos or other content on websites where you don't have any control, contact the website's administrator and ask them to remove the content.

3.  Make the most of your online presence with new content.
New content ranks higher on search engines, plus it gives you the opportunity to update your social media with things you want prospective employers to see.  Update your profile on career sites, build a personal resume site or start a new blog to show off your professional smarts!

4.  Ditch the data brokers!
There are companies who scan the internet for personal information and offer the data they find to the public for free or for a fee.  If there "people search" sites come up when you search for your name, visit their sites and opt out to keep your information private.

Feb. 1 - Change Your Password Day

1/31/2016

You're a safe person. You buckle your seatbelt. You look both ways. You exercise. You take vitamins. But when it comes to digital security, chances are you're vulnerable. For example, it's very likely that your Amazon password is your Gmail password is your bank password is your eBay password is—well, you get the picture. If that’s not the case, are you using your dogs name, kids birthdays or your anniversary date?

When's the last time you changed your passwords, or at least took a good look at how many systems or services you're using old, busted, insecure passwords with? Well, today is Change Your Password Day, and we're on a mission to make sure that you take the time to beef up your security, upgrade your password system, and most importantly, change your passwords now

The solution is as simple as changing your habits. Just five minutes can save you hours of trouble, and hundreds—maybe thousands—of dollars down the line. So go ahead: change your password. Keep what’s yours, yours.
Although passwords aren't as strong a protection as they used to be, they're still the frontline of our defense against cyber thieves, so it's worth the few minutes it takes to make your password as strong as possible.

As a refresher, Intel's blog notes that 
length is more important than complexity when choosing a password: "The password 'Br3ak1ead&7' would take a computer three days to crack, at 1,000 guesses per second. Meanwhile, the seemingly simple 'thunder showers before sunset' password, would take the same computer, guessing at the same rate, 550 years to crack." You want to use the strongest possible passwords especially for accounts such as your email address and financial accounts. And never use the same password on multiple sites.

Think you've mastered the perfect password? 
 Challenge your friends and find out who's hackable and who's uncrackable with this password challenge from intel

Take the challenge now!   Let us know how you did by posting on our facebook page! #TwistPasswordChallenge
