Do you have a business or are in charge of a business’ tech security? Get some tips from PC Authority’s experts.

Hello and welcome to our business section. This month our topic is ‘security’ -- a broad spectrum of sub-topics if ever there was one so we’ve drawn together a wide variety of technologies and expert opinions to present to you.

First off, our Online and Security expert, Davey Winder, tells us exactly how indestructible data stored on a hard disk can be. If you thought infernos and explosions and even bullet holes could render data unreadable – think again. You’ll be amazed at what’s really required.

We’ve also got reviews of various Internet security appliances from the likes of Cisco, Juniper Networks, Finjan and Check Point. These can be a great help for protecting both wired and wireless networks in your organisation as well as maintaining virus, spam and dodgy-URL protection. We also review a high-quality Sony IP camera which our reviewer claims, ‘even Spiderman couldn’t get past’ as well as software from Kaspersky and Panda which will monitor your networks for potential intrusions.

Plus, we have an introduction from Secure Computing, our new, little sister publication which specialises in all of the above topics and more. Finally, we’ve some real-world advice about keeping data secure on USB memory keys and some useful tips on not getting burgled.

As ever we welcome any feedback you have, but we’re particularly interested to know your feelings on our business sections, which are a relatively new feature of PC Authority. Please send any comments to editor@pcauthority.com.au.
