LEARN SOME HANDY HIDDEN SHORTCUTS

1. Want to open a link into a new tab in the background, so it won’t interrupt what you’re doing? Hold down Ctrl- or Cmd- and click it. To open a link in a whole new window, mean- while, use Shift instead. (This’ll work within most areas of Chrome, by the way—includ- ing the History page and the dropdown history list within the Back button, which we’ll get to in a bit.)

2. You probably know you can press the space bar to scroll down a full page-length, but there’s another side to that shortcut: If you press Shift and the space bar together, Chrome will do the opposite and scroll up by a full page-length at a time.

3. If you ever close a tab by mistake, hit Ctrl- or Cmd-Shift-T. Chrome will reopen your most recently closed tab as if nothing had ever happened. (And you can do it multiple times, too, if there’s more than one tab you’d like to recover.)

4. When you have a bunch of tabs open and want to hang onto the entire session for later, hit Ctrl-Shift-D. That’ll let you save all your open tabs into a folder for easy future access. To restore them, right-click the folder within your bookmarks and select “Open all” or “Open all in new window.”

5. Skip a step and get info about any word or phrase in a page by highlighting it and then right-clicking and selecting the “Search Google” option. You can also highlight a word or phrase and drag it into Chrome’s address bar to achieve the same result—or drag it into the area directly to the right of your final tab to launch the search in a new tab instead of your current one. (Bonus tip: Those same dragging behaviors can also be used to open links.)

6. Save a link with a single click: Just click, hold down your mouse button, and drag the link up into Chrome’s bookmarks bar. Drop it wherever you want, and it’ll be there the next time you need it .

7. If you download a file and then want to move it somewhere specific, click on its tile in the download bar that appears at the bottom of the browser. You can then drag and drop whatever you downloaded directly onto your desktop or into any folder.

8. You can also drag and drop files from Chrome’s download bar directly into an online service—like Google Drive, for instant uploading, or Gmail, for inserting the file as an attachment in a new message.

9. Should you ever find Chrome mysteriously misbehaving, remember this command: chrome://restart. Type it into Chrome’s address bar, and your browser will restart itself and restore all your tabs and windows in a jiffy. You never know when it might come in handy.

DEVELOP AN IMPREGNABLE IOT POLICY.

Enhance your company’s IoT policy with these security tips.
If you want to remain competitive in the future, you have no choice but to succumb to the rise of the internet of things (IoT). However, even with all of the benefits, it’s becoming increasingly difficult to deny the security risks IoT presents.

IOT SECURITY RISKS: IS ALARMING AND PERVERSIVE.

If you spend any time studying cybersecurity and recent attacks on businesses – small and large – you’ll come away from the experience fearful. The landscape is brutal right now, and the intensity and frequency of attacks are expected to pick up in the coming months.
According to the 451 Global Digital Infrastructure Alliance Report published at the end of 2016, endpoint security is the number one IoT security concern for businesses. Roughly 63 percent of respondents reported physical unsecured endpoints as their chief concern while poor authentication of these endpoints followed closely at 55 percent. Then there’s the dilemma of the astronomical proliferation of data. With more devices collecting and storing data, there’s more for hackers to steal. There’s also more at risk for businesses and individual consumers. As a result, there’s a greater need for sophisticated security measures to keep confidential data out of the hands of malicious hackers.

HERE ARE SOME TIPS TO MAKE YOUR COMPANY’S IOT MORE SECURED.

1. Only connect devices when necessary.
2. Create separate networks.
3. Use SD-WAN
4. Implement good password hygiene
5. Provide proper training for employees.

TECH IS RAPIDLY EVOLVING BE PREPARED TO EVOLVE ALL THE TIME.

If you make a commitment to keeping your policy current, you’ll do well. There’s no guarantee you won’t be attacked, but at least you’ll have a proper strategy for handling whatever is thrown your way.
