While internet is hailed as one of the greatest invention of the modern times it does come with its own set of issues, largely the rampant cyber criminal activities. Individuals and corporations are constantly targeted by criminal hackers who are trying to exploit the system for financial gain. Every single computer that is connected to the internet is at a potential security risk since you can never know how the criminals are targeting you.

 

 

No matter what operating system you prefer to use, you can never be safe on the internet through the default or typical security settings. Many laud over the Mac OS X or the Linux series of operating systems over the Microsoft Windows operating system for being the most secure OS out there but the fact of the matter is that any system can be hacked into if the conditions are met. Whether it is user’s negligence or a simple mistake, the simplest of actions can easily lead to catastrophic results when it comes to internet security, regardless of which OS you’re using.

 

 

Like all other things in life, knowledge is power when it comes to internet security. This is exactly why JB MacLean Consulting Inc. uses consultation and training regiments to inform the clients of all the necessary risks and the potential remedies that are available for those specific risks. Rather than keeping the clients in the dark, JB MacLean Consulting takes a unique approach as a security firm to truly inform & educate the clients so that they can practice all the necessary precautions and understand firsthand the how and why behind internet security.

 

 

Since the technology is ever changing, JB MacLean Consulting also focuses on constant update of such education to keep the clients ahead of the curve. Being a step ahead of everyone else greatly increases the level of security measures that may be implemented. This is especially important for high profile clients who are easily targeted by the criminals due to their status. By enforcing an up-to-date security solution it makes it more difficult for the criminals break in and will often deter them away as well by being branded as an overly secure target.

 

 

Computer is integrated into our everyday lives, for both personal and business use. It is important to keep ourselves secure through all fronts to ensure true security. An impregnable security solution at the company can easily be compromised by lack of security in the individual quarters. Home PCs or laptops that are managed improperly can spread computer virus to the company’s system.

Financial fraud is a multi-billion dollar business in Canada. Government, police, and professional associations are trying to contain the problem. Nonetheless, reports of ATM card reading scams, credit card and identity theft, telephone phishing, phony investments, mortgage fraud, and money laundering in its various forms continue to make headlines across the country and taking their toll on the economy.

Canadians are bombarded by information on how to minimize their exposure to these risks. However, protecting PIN numbers and passwords and shredding personal information is often not enough of a defence against organized groups bent on stealing your identity and access to wealth.  Most people are unaware of the sophistication and technological ability behind these crimes, how fast these crimes can happen, or how long it can take and what it might cost to recover from it. Most companies do not realize that the data mining they do has value well beyond customer behaviour.  Customer data, purchase histories, and credit card numbers are all valuable and easily available around the world.

Do you want to know more about these trends and risks in your area? 
Do you want to understand what resources are offered by the government, police, and industry across the country to combat these threats?
Do you think you are exposed to these risks and need to do something about it?

J.B. MacLean Consulting Inc. has years of experience in this field, effective professional partnerships with government, law enforcement, and in the legal and financial arena to offer you.
