SECURING YOUR COMPUTER AND ONLINE LIFE
1. Passwords2. Security Software3. Home internet filtering

PASSWORDS
Having to remember Ty!89?ghjK for even one site is hard enoughUse a few complex passwords- Which are memorable but contain sufficient
variation- !WldWlk500MilesChain a few words together-antelope50beach85south?Wiki article on password strength
33
SECURITY SOFTWARE
Have decent well-reviewed security software installed- Norton, McAfee and Kaspersky for PC or
Sophos for MacAVG free?- Would you use a free car?Pay the annual feeSecurity software reviews

HOME-BASED INTERNET FILTERING USING OPENDNS
OpenDNS provides family home filtering using DNS serversDNS servers are the ‘address books’ of the InternetAt a basic level filter adult sites, proxy servers, phising sites and some malware

TWO-FACTOR AUTHENTICATION
One-factor authentication is the use of a password (something you know)2FA is the use of something you know and something you have (a phone)When logging in to certain services you are sent a one-time only unique code to login

HOW TO USE 2FA EFFECTIVELY
Set it up on at least one major service such as Google MailUse your Gmail account to setup other accounts such as Facebook, Amazon etc
39
LOGIN NOTIFICATIONS
Sites like Facebook use theseThey show you if someone attempts to login to your account from another location

3RD-PARTY APPS AND SOCIAL NETWORKS
In our connected world services like Facebook, Twitter etc allow access to 3rd party apps which can use some of their featuresFor example my Facebook account allows my tumblr blog to create a link on Facebook everytime I post to tumblr.Certain apps can compromise your account if they post messages to your followers or worse
41
MANAGING 3RD-PARTY APPS
Check your app settings on each of your social networksFor example in Facebook use account settings to manage which apps you have allowedRemove ones you are unsure about
42
METADATA
Metadata is data about dataEg if I take a photo (data) the data about it would includeTimestampCamera typePhoto settings and depending on the type of deviceCo-ordinates derived from GPS

GEOTAGGING
Geotagging is the process of attaching a GPS location to a piece of digital content- Photo- Tweet- Foursquare checkinIt has benefits but also negatives – daughter posting a picture of herself at home online with photo geotagged?
44
DEALING WITH GEOTAGGING
Check the settings on your child’s smartphone- An iPhone for example can turn location
settings offApps such as Twitter also have flags for turning on/off geotagging

45
SHORT LINKS ON TWITTER
Due to the length of twitter posts longer email addresses are often shortened such ashttp://community.computingatschool.org.uk/ Is shortened to …http://bit.ly/Omnauf Use http://longurl.org to extend the address if you are unsure as to where it might lead you

46
MANAGING SMARTPHONES AND TABLETS
For very young children use ‘Guided Access’ for iPadsUse gift vouchers to manage the purchase of appsUse the restrictions panel on an iPhone or iPad to manage things like in-app purchasesManage the iTunes password yourself – this will control the apps downloaded

47
LOSING AN EXPENSIVE DEVICE
For Apple devices use iCloud and Find my iPhone to locate missing devices, ping them or lock them down
Similar services can be purchased for Android devices

48
MESSAGING ON SMARTDEVICES
Parents can’t do surveillance like the NSA can!Skype is reasonably popularMore popular are over-the-top messaging apps such as Whats-app or iMessage – text message servicesRecently popular is Snapchat
49
DEALING WITH INAPPROPRIATE COMMUNICATIONS
Gather evidence!If you are aware of the apps your children are using familiarise yourself with how to collect evidenceTake that evidence to organisations like CEOP
50
SUMMARY OF SUGGESTIONS
Secure Passwords and multiple levels of loginsUse one security suite but a range of extra toolsDiscuss with your children and show them you are knowledgeable as wellKnow what agencies can help if something does happen
51
IN CONCLUSION
Esafety will always be evolvingKeep on top of developments yourselfIncrease your trust in your children as they get older

Reading requires time and attention. Reading is a cognitive, mental, emotional action, and today it is under pressure from all this speed of the Internet and the whole digital world. The biggest principle of this world is speed, everything has to do with speed, that is how it is measured and that is how it is lived. When you read a book or a poem or listen to music, there is a matter of moderation, of time. This technology is an assault on time.
