Three Reasons Why You Need Better Personal Cyber security


From the infamous Sony hack to the recent WannaCry virtual catastrophe that affected over 300,000 computers, the need for reliable personal cyber security has never been more apparent. Rubica's skilled team of experts want to remind every one of the importance of cyber security and the three reasons why it is becoming a more pressing issue every day. With top-notch personal cyber security, most attacks are preventable.


1. Larger Number Of Attacks
Americans have heard of the most notable attacks on major corporations or government entities over the past several years. However, most people who are not in the information security field do not learn just how much the attack frequency is growing. The number of cyber attacks carried out worldwide in 2015 was quadruple a number of attacks recorded in 2013. Although the cost associated with the number of annual recorded attacks is in the $500 billion range right now, experts say that it will grow well into the trillions by 2020. Those costs reflect lost data, lost productivity, stolen money, stolen personal information, business interruption and much more.


2. Increasing Attack Severity
To make matters worse, the severity of the attacks grows worse each year. While some programs in the past may have targeted only personal or financial information, thieves are taking medical data, trade secrets, personal emails, and even photos to use for their own benefits or extortion. The 2016 presidential race showed that nobody is safe from attacks. Candidate Hillary Clinton was the target of a major hack that resulted in her personal emails being spread far and wide. Programs today may attack several vectors and maximize damages.


3. Personal Cybersecurity Cost Misconceptions
When it comes to a personal budget or a business budget, most people put items such as property insurance and mortgage payments at the top of their priority list. However, cyber security usually ranks closer to the bottom, and that is a financially dangerous decision. Any person or business may become the target of a vicious cyber attack. If the risks are identity theft, extortion, confidentiality breaches and similar problems, the cost of personal cyber security must be a top priority. When it comes to the massive expense of paying for the damages after a security breach or a hack, the cost to prevent such events pales in comparison.

An executive order was signed in May that will strengthen cybersecurity for the nation's infrastructure and federal networks. While government agency heads are now tasked with improving the government's cyber security, businesses and individuals must be proactive in protecting their own interests.


About Rubica
Rubica specializes in personal cyber security. Customers can sign up for the company's security app to prevent hacks. While most cyber security software programs automatically detect some known threats, they do not catch all of them. Also, possible threats are analyzed by the software program before it decides what to do with them.

Rubica decided to take the old concept of cyber security to a whole new level with their app. Users sign up, choose a coverage plan and download the app. They do not have to read tutorials about operating it. Although the app's design reflects simplicity, its capabilities are sophisticated. It not only detects known threats but also detects user activity. The program's advanced AI tools allow it to also learn the user's normal activities to better identify suspicious actions such as excessive use during off hours or connecting to an unknown server. To help strengthen the app's reliability, human cyber security specialists analyze detected threats. They are usually able to solve or remove them remotely. However, they will reach out to customers when a threat is detected that requires action.

Although the company was founded in 2016, it has already grown in popularity among public figures, media personalities, professional athletes and high-profile executives. Users appreciate Rubica's app because of its non-intrusive setup. It runs nonstop as a background process without consuming too much space. The app is compatible with nearly every tablet, smartphone, and computer. When users connect to the app, they are connecting to Rubica's special virtual private network. This means that any activity at home or at work is encrypted. Internet service providers normally log online activity and sell reports of it to marketers and outside agencies. When a user is connected to the Rubica VPN, none of their online activity is visible to the ISP.

The professional team members at Rubica offer new customers a free cyber security audit. Rubica's team is comprised of security and privacy specialists who have backgrounds with the NSA, Scotland Yard, and similar agencies. While many of the company's clients have a high net worth and extensive assets to protect, the app is useful for anyone with personal cyber security concerns.

Phoenix OS is (another) Android-as-a-desktop

Google Android may have been developed as a smartphone operating system (and later ported to tablets, TVs, watches, and other platforms), but over the past few years we’ve seen a number of attempts to turn it into a desktop operating system. One of the most successful has been  Remix OS , which gives Android a taskbar, start menu, and an excellent window management system. The Remix OS team has also generated a lot of buzz over the past year, and this week the operating system gained a lot of new alpha testers thanks to a  downloadable version of Remix OS  that you can run on many recent desktop or notebook computers. But Remix OS isn’t the only game in town.  Phoenix OS  is another Android-as-desktop operating system, and while it’s still pretty rough around the edges, there are a few features that could make it a better option for some testers. Some background I first discovered Phoenix OS from  a post in the Remix OS Google Group , although I’ve also found mentions of th

South Korea aims for startup gold

Back in 2011, when South Korea won its longshot bid to host the 2018 Winter Olympics, the country wasn’t widely recognized as a destination for ski and snow lovers. It wasn’t considered much of a tech startup hub either. Fast forward seven years and a lot has changed. For the next 10 days, the eyes of the world will be on the snowy slopes of PyeongChang. Meanwhile, a couple of hours away in Seoul, a burgeoning startup scene is seeing investments multiply, generating exits and even creating a unicorn or two. While South Korea doesn’t get a perfect score as a startup innovation hub, it has established itself as a serious contender. More than half a billion dollars annually has gone to seed through late-stage funding rounds for the past few years. During that time, at least two companies, e-commerce company Coupang and mobile-focused content and commerce company Yello Mobile, have established multi-billion-dollar valuations. To provide a broader picture of how South Korea stacks

So, when will your device actually get Android Oreo?

Google officially just took the wraps off of Android Oreo, but there are still some questions left to be answered — most notably, precisely when each device will be getting the latest version of the mobile operating system. Due to Android’s openness and a variety of different factors on the manufacturing side, it’s not an easy question to answer, but we’ll break it down best we can. First the good news: If your device was enrolled in the Android Beta Program, you’ll be getting your hands on the final version of the software “soon,” according to Google. Exactly what that means remains to be seen, but rest assured that you’ll be one of of the first people outside of Google to take advantage of picture-in-picture, notification dots and the like. No big surprise, Google handsets will be the first non-beta phones to get the update. The Pixel, Nexus 5X and 6P are at the top of the list, alongside Pixel C tablet and ASUS’s Nexus Player set-top box, which will be receiving the upgrade i

Uber, Google and other tech employees form Coalition of Black Excellence

When black employee resource groups from a variety of tech companies come together, black magic happens. More specifically, black excellence happens. The Coalition of Black Excellence Week, spearheaded by Uber Litigation Counsel Angela Johnson in collaboration with black ERGs from over 40 tech companies like Facebook, Google, eBay, Lyft and Microsoft, kicks off this Monday in the San Francisco Yay (Bay) Area. The idea for CBE Week came in part from Johnson’s experiences living in Washington D.C., and being able to attend events put on by the Congressional Black Caucus, she told me at Uber’s headquarters this week. “When I moved out to the Bay Area, I really wished there were similar types of experiences for tech,” Johnson said. “And I thought if we could bring together different black ERGs, or diversity and inclusion committees, or people who were interested in some of the issues the black community is passionate about, a lot of positive change and impact could come from that.
