It must be one right of our race's most persistent and comforting hallucinations to trust that "it can't happen here" — that one's own time and place is beyond cataclysm.
— John Wyndham
There is no shortage of informative articles on the cyber security threats you face (see the Octagonal Library Zone for details).
Make no mistake; the threats are real, and increasing.
Anyone, or organization can be the subject of a digital attack today, even you. Why? Because any data is worth stealing!
Starting cybersecurity from scratch, is really hard. I know from personal experience.
After Nine years as a Systems manager, I know that most home owners and home, small and medium businesses think it is more cost-effective
to trust other companies to provide full cybersecurity coverage but is this actually true? The cloud, for example, is just someone else's inventory but with the same challenges as if it was on site.
Cybersecurity is a challenge like no other and can be seen as a layer cake. Only when you've covered each layer with counter-measures is your cybersecurity solution ready. . . for now. "Remember, constant vigilance" — Alastor "Mad-eye" Moody
Every new Cybersecurity product is always the best available . . . but the threats are continually changing so if the product doesn't change you can fail to protect yourself and your business. That's why I spent the best part of a year looking for and testing different combinations until I had the ideal INFERNO©™ systems.
INFERNO©™ pre-configured privacy and security networking systems are designed to give you peace of mind. INFERNO©™ is not a range of firewall appliances.
It is a total concept of purging dirty internet input and supplying clean data into and from your home/office. They're preconfigured so the days of sitting down and figuring out all the settings needed for safe and private surfing, encrypted email and payments are gone! MITM, port scanning, credential stuffing, Malware, Ransomware, and Futureware don't get a look in.
All programs used by INFERNO©™systems are sandboxed ensuring the only do what they are allowed to do. This reduces the risks of Remote Code Execution and Privilege Escalation attacks to your network and devices.
Good for you!
You've partially covered one of the ways you can be digitally attacked. What about the other layers of security? But when was the last time your VPN provider had a data leak? How much of your data do they store - yes, they do even if they say they don't!
Take a few seconds to think about what this statement really means.
You could be saying hello to some very unwanted new friends: Criminal Hackers (and their Zero-day Remote Code Execution), Old Father Ransomware, Mrs. Phisher, Mr. Corporate Data Miner, Aunty MITM Government department, Uncle Malware, Cousin Botnet, 2nd Cousin Data logger, Joey the script kiddy, and their Sub-Saharan lodger who is related to a former African dictator and has a fantastic financial offer for you.
Data criminals are faceless so they could be an acquaintance, your neighbor, colleague, wife, son, daughter, or anything else for that matter.
Personally, I cannot understand why there are so many lower life forms trying to get your data, but they are there for obvious reasons. Every Country is vulnerable to hacking and so are their populace. The attacks ramped up over 2020 until even the U.S. military and social infrastructure suffered data leaks. There is no telling what may happen this year or next but expect the best and prepare for the worst is a good maxim. COVID has highlighted the fact we are three meals (or toilet rolls) away from total anarchy. I cannot say it often enough, anyone, organization or any Country's infrastructure are targets for digital attack today.
Ultimately, saying that you don't care about privacy because you have nothing to hide is no different from saying you don't care about freedom of speech because you have nothing to say. —; Edward Snowden
If your door is always open (as with Facebook, Google and 10 million other potential threats), and someone walked in and stole everything private you had. Then, and I may be going out on a limb here, YOUR PRIVACY would become very important all of a sudden! The same can be said of data privacy and cybersecurity. If you aren't continually improving the protection of your devices, your network, and your data in the fullest ways possible, they are going to give you serious stress when you least expect it.
Everyone experiences cyber-attacks in different ways depending on their coping mechanisms. However, the unavoidable conclusion is "protect your stuff" before it happens.
You can do this using our INFERNO©™ systems or you can visit the Octagonal Library
The psychological effects of cyber-attacks may even rival those of traditional terrorism.

Traditionally, Cybersecurity products came as a base system with a yearly subscription for updates, anti-virus etc. And you still needed to fully configure them yourself! What a hassle!
We don't lock you in with a yearly contract or additional charges for what should be standard functions. No, we deliver a fully functioning device which automatically updates as needed for one price. That's it for all Octagon INFERNO™ products.
