Been a while

It's been a while since I last posted security related topics. Been MIA settling in as an architect. Now I'm back and ready to finish off the year with some more informative security related topics.

Many of us are glued to our mobile devices, like many of us, we use a slew of apps to communicate with friends and family... Well these apps all have their levels of security and flaws. So how do you protect yourself against data theft... Well first off, learn your apps and their security features. Do they offer end to end encryption, is data saved on any servers outside of your own walls, is there a time limit on the data that is kept. Do we all remember the headaches Snapchat went through when someone found a way to retrieve data from their database and replay old message people thought that were deleted...

So with apps like Signal, WhatsApp these offer many security features but these features can be exploited against non security minded individuals. Cisco wrote a great article on how to better protect yourself when using three popular IM apps, Signal, WhatsApp and Telegram.
