7MS #315: Creating a Personal DR Plan - Part 2

As a continuation of last week's episode I'm now making a bit of progress in finding a good backup solution that protects USB backups both at rest and when pumped up to the cloud.

I mentioned I've been using BackBlaze for backups (not a sponsor), and they allow you to backup USB drives as long as they're connected at least once every 30 days. That's cool. However, many of my USB drives are not encrypted, and I want to protect myself in the off chance that someone breaks in and steals all my stuff while those unencrypted drives are connected.

My BackBlaze backup PC is just a little dinky box running Windows 10 Home, so I don't have access to BitLocker. I was gonna drop the ~$100 for the Windows 10 Pro upgrade, but I coincidentally was doing an endpoint security product evaluation at the same time, and so I grabbed a copy of ESET's DESLock (also not a sponsor) because it was on sale. Where I'm stuck now is that the USB drives are unlocked, and yet for some reason BB can't properly back them up. I've got a ticket into their support folks, and will update you once we get to part 3 of this miniseries.

7MS #58: What Should We Do First? (audio)

At the end of just about every assessment I deliver, the client asks “What should we do first?” They (understandably) want to know a “top 5″ list of things they should change right away to improve their security posture. Today’s episode explores that a bit. 7MS #58: What Should We Do Next? (audio)

If you’re concerned about your credit/debit card security, you might want to give Red Giant a try. It’s a service that provides a debit card you can unlock *only* when buying something. It’s cool. Oh, and Red Giant is NOT sponsoring this episode. If I ever get sponsors, I’ll disclose them clearly. :-) 7MS #54:…
