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.

Tor - Secured Protection

Blog Article/Post Caveat (Read First Please: Click the Link)

In the most recently read chapter of the book by Marc Goodman, “Passport to the Dark Web,” it has become apparent the a piece of software was developed that would hold a person and/or organization’s data in a protected state. The software was and is available for free but since its inception has been taken over by cyber-criminals and makes it most difficult for anyone to break it and take its data.

You have to read the book to get the full picture but herein lies my concern and belief, if they can do that and remain free from authorities and prosecution and terrorists can make it work for them then, “Why oh Why is it so hard for our industry to provide us legal and law abiding citizens that type of protection?”

If the criminal, “Empire,” can and does protect itself from legal attacks why can’t we legally abiding citizens and companies develop and implement such protection against those same criminal empire cyber-crooks?
