As we move further away from relying on passwords alone to protect access to mission-critical systems and sensitive data, more enterprises are moving toward phone-based, two-factor authentication because of the ease of use and added security offered by leveraging the telephone network. Here, Knowledge Center contributor Steve Dispensa explains how to thwart enterprise network attacks using phone-based, two-factor authentication. - A user keys in his password to log onto the network and his cell phone rings. If the user answers and keys in his PIN number, he is allowed access. If he doesn’t, then entry to the network is denied, IT is alerted and the attack is thwarted. In order for a hacker to access the user’s account, he mus…

Family secure child identity theft
Family secure child identity theft is a service that is offered by companies that guarantees your child’s security from identity thieves. Family secure child identity theft works through a series of steps that are explained as follows: it ensures that your child’s personal information is closely monitored and any information relating to credit car file is determined. Family secure child identity theft system will issue alerts in case of any activity that looks suspicious. The alerts are forwarded to your email account. A support program is also instituted for your children with an aim of offering them a dedicated fraud resolution mechanism. There are also credit reports that are delivered to you regularly that will enable you to resolve any identity theft easily. Family secure child identity theft system not only monitors your child’s credit card activity, but they can also offer a package that covers the whole family from identity thieves. The credit worthiness of an individual is normally determined by the number of credit scores that each individual has. The family secure child identity theft system is an advantageous package because it enables you to monitor your credit scores by keenly looking at an individual’s Experian credit files. In case any changes are detected in your Experian report then you are duly alerted. With the family secure child identity theft system you will be able to check both your credit report and score on a daily basis. Statistics from the federal trade commission indicate that close to nine million people suffer from identity theft each year. Out of the nine million that are victims of identity theft, four hundred and fifty thousand are children. Children thus form up to five percent of the victims of identity theft. Children normally receive social security numbers at birth. The medical records, sports records, school records and library card records might sometimes include the social security numbers. An identity thief might use the child’s social security number to obtain personal details of the child. After obtaining the personal details he will use the information to apply for loans, open bank accounts, start new cell phone accounts, and even operate credit cards after assuming the identity of the child. Sometimes parents add their children as additional authorized users of their credit cards. This makes it easier for credit card thieves to obtain the information from the credit card bureaus. Teenagers also apply for credit cards, for example when they want a car loan or they can obtain a credit card from a department store. Obtaining such credit cards means that your information can be readily accessed at credit bureaus. It is thus easier for identity thieves to obtain your personal data. They then use the information to commit financial frauds with detrimental effects.

If Pres. Obama has his way, the medical records of every American will be digitized by 2014. The stimulus package (read the text here) includes $19 billion in funding to pay for the effort and calls for the appointment of a chief privacy officer to advise the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services on how best to protect this sensitive information. If a new study of how easily your medical records can be found online by others is any indication, the new chief privacy officer (to be appointed over the next 12 months) will have his work cut out for him because an increase in digital medical records would likely mean an increase in medical identity theft.
