Download or read book Keep Safe Using Mobile Tech written by Glenn Fleishman and published by alt concepts. This book was released on 2024-07-30 with total page 122 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Leverage your smartphone and smartwatch for improved personal safety! Version 1.0, updated July 30, 2024 The digital and “real” worlds can both be scary places. The smartphone (and often smartwatch) you already carry with you can help reduce risks, deter theft, and mitigate violence. This book teaches you to secure your hardware, block abuse, automatically call emergency services, connect with others to ensure you arrive where and when you intended, detect stalking by compact trackers, and keep your ecosystem accounts from Apple, Google, and Microsoft secure.n You don’t have to be reminded of the virtual and physical risks you face every day. Some of us are targeted more than others. Modern digital features built into mobile operating systems (and some computer operating systems) can help reduce our anxiety by putting more power in our hands to deter, deflect, block, and respond to abuse, threats, and emergencies. Keep Safe Using Mobile Tech looks at both digital threats, like online abuse and account hijacking, and ones in the physical world, like being stalked through Bluetooth trackers, facing domestic violence, or being in a car crash. The book principally covers the iPhone, Apple Watch, and Android devices, but doesn’t ignore Wear OS watches, the iPad, and computers running macOS or Windows. This book explores many techniques to help: • Learn how to harden your Apple ID/Apple Account, Google Account, and Microsoft Account beyond just a password or a text-message token. • Discover blocking tools in operating systems and third-party apps that can prevent abusive, fraudulent, and phishing messages and calls from reaching you. • Block seeing unwanted sensitive images on your iPhone, iPad, Mac, or Apple Watch—and help your kids receive advice on how not to send them. • Turn on tracking on your devices, and use it to recover or erase stolen hardware. • Keep your cloud-archived messages from leaking to attackers. • Lock down your devices to keep thieves and other personal invaders from accessing them. • Prepare for emergencies by setting up medical information on your mobile devices. • Let a supported smartphone or smartwatch recognize when you’re in a car crash or have taken a hard fall and call emergency services for you (and text your emergency contacts) if you can’t respond. • Keep track of heart anomalies through smartwatch alerts and tests. • Tell others where or when you expect to check in with them again, and let your smartphone alert them if you don’t. • Deter stalking from tiny Bluetooth trackers. • Protect your devices and accounts against access from domestic assailants. • Block thieves who steal your phone—potentially threatening you or attacking you in person—from gaining access to the rest of your digital life.

Download or read book Social Media on the Road written by Oskar Juhlin and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 2010-09-08 with total page 202 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In the future, everyday life in traffic will be intricately meshed with city life. Today motorways, cities and streets are places where we spend a considerable amount of time, and where a large number of everyday encounters between people occur. Any road user’s journey coincides with hundreds or even thousands of others. This book unpacks the details of the practical achievements involved in socially engaging with people at high speed. Although, generally speaking, these encounters are brief and interaction is slight, the recent emergence of mobile technologies offers opportunities to support drivers and passengers beyond just helping them to reach their destination. New social media could enhance interaction in traffic making life on the road more interesting and meaningful. Such innovative applications could include car stereos that share music amongst drivers; digital games that interact with the landscape passing outside the car windows, or with passengers in surrounding cars; message systems that allow drivers to help each other; and web applications that allow motorcyclists to socialize on the road. Social Media on the Road - The Future of Car Based Computing provides a bridge between research in transport planning and traffic technology, and new media areas such as Computer Human Interaction and Computer Supported Cooperative Work. Those studying and researching in the areas of human computer interaction in mobile use contexts, and those interested in developing new forms of mobile applications and services will find this book an excellent resource. Oskar Juhlin is Associate Professor and Director of the Mobile Life VinnExcellence Centre at Stockholm University and Interactive Institute. 'This book represents a pioneering and key research work that examines the future of transportation being merged with communication and interactive media. It also provides a glimpse of the future potential of mixed reality entertainment for children and family on the move. It is essential for scientists, designers, and engineers working on mobile social media, as well as for business people looking for new potential urban transport media services.' Professor Adrian D. Cheok, Graduate School of Media Design, Keio University.

Download or read book ROLE OF AI IN CYBERSECURITY written by Prof. Sunil Kr Pandey and published by Xoffencerpublication. This book was released on 2023-11-28 with total page 232 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The practises that are outlined in a variety of studys and referred to collectively as "cyber security" are intended to safeguard the online presence of a user or an organisation. It is responsible for coordinating the many tools and processes that are necessary to avoid harm to networks, software, and data. Another term for this grouping of technologies and processes is information technology security (IT security). The prominence of the industry is growing as a result of an increased reliance on computer systems such as smartphones, televisions, and the myriad of other tiny devices that comprise the Internet of Things. The internet has made it easier to communicate with people all over the globe in a variety of ways; but it has also presented us with an abundance of new influences that were previously unfathomable. At the same time as the world of security developed, the world of hackers also expanded. Two distinct points of view may be taken into consideration while of cyber security. One advantage is that cloud service providers focus exclusively on this area, which means that their customers can be certain that they are using the most cutting-edge encryption technology currently on the market. In the event of a cyberattack, it is being protected by internet-connected devices, which protect not just the data but also the hardware and software. Organisations take safeguards against hackers and other bad actors by using both cyber security and physical security measures for their data centres and other computerised systems. These procedures are designed to protect against the risk of unauthorised access. The goal of the cyber security subfield known as data security is to maintain the confidentiality, integrity, and accessibility of stored information. The breadth of operations that comprise cyber security includes the protection of data and infrastructure against major dangers that may be found online. There is a diverse range of these threats to consider.
