iSD in the Tech Age!



Net-self-defense, we spend an exorbitant amount of time on our physical defense training and then we forget that our lives are in just as much danger of "Grave Financial Harm" or Financial ruin (Death) as if we are attacked by a street predator. Research and studies show, from the security experts in this field, that Anti-virus and Firewall suites only catch about 5% of the threats out there and those same folks tell us that it is in all probability worse at the Enterprise levels.


My goal here is to educate myself, and by proxy, pass on what I learn to others so that each individual who is connected at any level can take steps to achieve some semblance of security in their electronic on-line lives. We are so deeply imbedded in modern technology that to not take appropriate actions to learn iSD or internet self-defense in the technological age is just foolishness.


My goal is to provide enough of a foundation that readers, like me, can take the appropriate actions, i.e., apply those fundamental principles of technological methodologies to safeguard one of the more important, actually critical, strategies and tactics to defend ourselves from grave economical harm or even economical/financial death or ruin from nefarious predatory hacking processes.


Nothing in this blog is definitive, it is meant to set a foundation of knowledge, understanding and awareness so that you are not one day blindsided by some effort to steal your very life out from underneath you so fast you feel like you have been hit behind the ear and knocked into a daze of confusion, fear and finally anger where your tech-life falls apart and ruins your real life utterly, completely and with no light in sight down that dark, empty and black hole.

Focus on the Real Threat

It seems the professionals are being misdirected toward things that are not all that critical to our security on the Internet/uVerse. It is not truly about the legal system although the legal system needs to get a grip on what they are asking. It’s about keeping the real threat out of our personal and financial businesses. The threat from the proverbial uVerse’s Crime, inc., that is where we need to focus our efforts in regard to iSD.

I’m not saying we can’t take a proactive posture toward terrorism and terrorists but in the overall scheme of things those guys, so far, are not as big a threat as the predator criminals building a huge billion dollar business using technology to fleece the masses of their identities and monies. Consider this, failing to protects everyone from the threat and repercussions of using technology to commit terrorism is huge, they make end of the world movies out of this stuff and it is closer to reality than you think. 

To those who hack, steal and cause mayhem using technology, remember there is a finite amount of money you can steal and if you go to far the whole system collapses and then your accumulated money and effort will also hit the wall.
