On your own network, you get to set the security rules. You can make sure your router has a decent password; you can keep everything patched; you can run security software on all your devices; and so on. But once you’re on the road, whether it’s free Wi-Fi at the coffee shop or the business network in the airport lounge, you don’t have the same control.

It includes a range of security tips, and a section on proactive protection, entitled Staying Ahead of Today’s Most Sophisticated Attacks.
The report isn't just about Windows and Windows malware, either. You'll find a wealth of information about how the cybercrooks are broadening their attack horizons to the Mac, Linux and Android platforms, too.
This is important material because it necessitates that we broaden our defensive horizons in reply.
The report also looks the technology and the underground economy behind crimeware tools such as exploit kits, botnets, click fraud, ransomware, and more.
As well as being a fascinating read, the Security Threat Report 2014 will help you to understand and to protect yourself against an enemy that is becoming ever smarter, shadier and stealthier.

why there are so many unsecured wi-fi hotspots? when we connect free wifi, we should have the awareness to ask ourselves it is security or not. the companies owner should check the security of wifi setting

“BYOD is top of mind for myriad organisations; however, it’s causing some concern among IT. The increase in personal devices accessing the network may complicate the process of ensuring devices are secure and compliant with company policies, making it difficult for IT to justify broad BYOD acceptance,” said Stacy K. Crook, senior analyst, Mobile Enterprise Research, IDC. “Solutions with features like those found in the latest version of Sophos Mobile Control allow organisations to develop BYOD strategies without compromising on security, or complicating the overall management of the network.”
In addition, if it a mobile device becomes non-compliant, the new release will alert IT, so the administrator can send messages to the user for minor violations. For more serious incidents, the administrator can configure a set of tasks, which will be applied automatically. Examples include corporate or full wipes as well as policy changes to avert any risk for corporate data.

Read about HTML5's promise for the web and problems for privacy and security. From Sophos, the leader in antivirus, malware removal and network encryption.
However, with more local storage and offline caching in HTML5, the browser is likely to contain much more sensitive data, such as from your email client or CRM. That makes your browser a direct gateway to your data and an attractive target itself. Concerns over privacy have led to numerous regulations focused on cookies. Cookies and associated data can be used to track users across multiple sites, recording their clicks, purchases or preferences. As consumers become more aware of web tracking and data mining, privacy features are growing in importance for browser vendors.
