All the smartphones will be available exclusively on Amazon.in. Meizu is backed by Alibaba, its devices are manufactured in India, supporting Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s initiative “Make in India”. Moreover, Meizu has tied up with Reliance Jio with an aim to further the agenda of digital inclusion and bring feature-packed smartphones at affordable prices to Indians.

The Meizu C9 is the most affordable smartphone in this range. It comes with 13 MP rear camera coupled with a 5.45-inch display having 720×1440 pixels. It has face unlock light sensors, proximity sensors, accelerometer and fingerprint scanner along with 3000 mAh battery at just Rs 5,999. A special introductory offer has been provided by Amazon and Reliance Jio to the users for the first 10 days wherein the device will cost Rs.4,999/-. The sale has started from 5th December on Amazon.

Another handset named Meizu M6T has additional features including multi-frame noise reduction technology, ergonomically sound design and low-level photo experience. It sports 13MP+2MP dual camera which uses a Sony IMX278 RGBW four-colour sensor. It is powered by Octa-core processor for the seamless gaming experience.

OnePlus 7 will be the First Smartphone with Snapdragon 855

The second day of the Qualcomm Snapdragon Tech Summit 2018 revealed a lot of interesting details. Qualcomm 855 is the newest and latest chipset for mobile platforms. The Snapdragon 855 chipset will also be able to support 5G headsets and speeds. OnePlus’ CEO Pete Lau announced that their upcoming smartphone will be powered the new and powerful Snapdragon 855 chip. OnePlus will be one of the first among a few companies to come out with the latest chipset by Qualcomm early in 2019.

Pete Lau, on stage talked about the company’s relationship with Qualcomm over the past years. He said,” We know that the 855 is the most powerful chipset, it is definitely the one and only choice [for our phone].” Many reports have come out earlier regarding OnePlus to launch a 5G enabled smartphone early in 2019. The reports suggest the launch date somewhere around the MWC. Few reports suggest that the OnePlus will not be naming the device as OnePlus 7, but instead may start another lineup of devices. The 5G device will support the 5G connectivity initially in Europe on EE’s network.

The Snapdragon 855 is made using the 7-nanometer process, also used by Apple’s A12 Bionic. It will also feature the company’s new X24 modem, which is an upgrade from the X20 modem in Snapdragon 845. It is to be noted that that the 855 alone will not be able to give full 5G and companies will have to add the X50 modem to add the 5G functionality. Many significant changes will also be seen in the camera department which will come with the updated Spectra 380 ISP (Image Signal Processor). Artificial Intelligence related performance is claimed to be improved as all the Adreno, Kyro and Hexagon processors are capable of working together and form a fourth generation AI engine.

A converged, cloud-based SD-WAN is a secure SD-WAN

The average cost of a data breach in 2018 is $3.86 million USD according to IBM & Ponemon Institute. This staggering statistic helps drill home the importance of securing IT infrastructure and the costs of not doing so. As workloads become more dispersed, with many businesses outsourcing infrastructure to the cloud by using AWS, Office 365, Azure, G-Suite, etc., the challenge of securing a WAN can become more complicated.

As the industry moves away from the old MPLS (Multiprotocol Label Switching) paradigm, and SD-WAN popularity continues to soar, it is important to understand how to best secure the data that traverses your WAN without unnecessarily sacrificing performance or adding complexity. Premium, cloud-based, SDWaaS (SD-WAN as a Service) is a holistic WAN solution that is uniquely capable of offering enterprise-grade security in a converged, scalable, and efficient manner.

To help explain the advantages of SDWaaS, we’ll first dive into the legacy, appliance-based DIY approach to SD-WAN, the associated security challenges, and then review the features of SDWaaS that help make a converged and secure SD-WAN infrastructure possible.

The appliance-based SD-WAN approach to security

The DIY approach to SD-WAN involves enterprises deploying and maintaining SD-WAN appliances to more efficiently (when compared to MPLS) route Internet-bound traffic. The old MPLS solution generally entailed organizations backhauling data through corporate datacenters or headquarters before then routing it on to the public Internet. This approach creates the “trombone routing” problem many enterprises have struggled with and is inefficient both from a cost and performance aspect.

While DIY SD-WAN solves the trombone routing problem, it generally does not come prepackaged with integrated security. What does this mean? Enterprises are left to craft their own security solutions to add security to their WAN infrastructure. Deployment of security devices in an unconverted, site-by-site manner can lead to a hodgepodge of solutions that are difficult to scale and maintain at the enterprise level. These challenges only become greater when they are compounded with the difficulties of onboarding mobile users or adding new locations (for example when mergers and acquisitions occur). At best, this approach enables enterprises to gain security while also adding complexity and a maintenance burden. At worst, this approach leads to gaps in the security plan and vulnerabilities.

The security benefits of SDWaaS

Given its position in the cloud, SDWaaS is inherently designed to enable a holistic, converged, and scalable approach to SD-WAN. The SD-WAN services (e.g. Policy-based Routing) enterprises expect from any SD-WAN solution are integrated with robust security stack creating an all-in-one, easy to manage solution. Not only does this minimize the potential for blind spots, but it also helps to make an enterprise WAN more secure than the alternatives.

For example, premium SDWaaS providers have Points of Presence (PoPs) across the globe that are connected using fully-meshed encrypted tunnels. Premium SDWaaS providers only allow authorized users to access their SLA-backed, Tier 1 ISP (Internet Service Provider) supported backbones. Further, these backbones are protected using advanced anti-DDoS (Distributed Denial of Service) and DPI (Deep Packet Inspection) technologies.

Further, premium SDWaaS is secure even at the ever-popular “Edge” of networks. Customers using premium, cloud-based SDWaaS connect using encrypted tunnels or via IPsec-enabled devices (e.g. firewalls and mobile clients). The variety of options available here ensure enterprises have the flexibility they need to implement am SDWaaS solution that meets their specific needs.

Advanced SDWaaS security features

Finally, premium SDWaaS networks come with a variety of InfoSec features baked-in. This means enterprises don’t need to allocate additional resources to source and provision them. These features include:

  • Next Generation Firewalls (NGFWs)– NGFWs enable enterprises to define and isolate specific LAN segments, which can be vital when dealing with regulatory requirements or sensitive data. NGFWs also enable application and user awareness which means policies that take context into account can be created. NGFWs not only add security, but they also enable security to be implemented in a manner that allows for extensibility and contextual awareness.
  • Secure Web Gateways (SWGs)– SWGs act as filters that can block access to websites based on predefined lists and/or categorizations. Users may not love this feature (Netflix is totally work related!), but admins will certainly appreciate it.
  • Advanced Threat Protection- This feature refers to the various heuristics that allow SDWaaS solutions to detect and address threats to a network. Anti-malware and Intrusion Protection Systems (IPSs) fall into this category. Threats can be identified based on behavioral characteristics and then contained.
  • Security Analytics– Networking and security events are logged and used by premium SDWaaS solutions for incident analysis and troubleshooting. This granular approach to capturing data coupled with advanced analytics techniques enable enhanced threat detection and root cause analysis.

The takeaway: SDWaaS enables converged, secure WAN infrastructure

By coupling the security solutions enterprises would otherwise have to source and provision on their own, with a robust and resilient cloud-based SD-WAN solution, SDWaaS enables organizations to benefit from a converged and secure WAN infrastructure without dealing with the complexity tradeoffs associated with adding security after the fact.

How to fix a broken double pane window

The horrific sound of a window shattering is enough to make any homeowner cringe. The first thought is on the cost of hiring a professional to attend to the window and the cost of buying a brand-new window. However, the good news is that it can be fixed at home. You will need to know the following first:

  • The correct size of the window
  • The thickness of the window
  • How to prepare the frame correctly: removing the outer frame and the seal
  • How to install the glass

Even though the broken double pane window glass does not appear to be badly damaged, it may need to be repaired. These windows were created to provide better insulation from the cold and heat. It thus increases energy efficiency. If they are damaged, they inevitably lose their effectiveness thus costing the owner more money in energy costs. What do you do if can’t find a window repair near you? Repairing a foggy window is usually better than replacing it. However, if the window is broken, you can repair it.

What happens when a double pane window is broken or damaged?

  • The window will obviously lose its ability to insulate properly. This means that it can no longer preserve energy.
  • Over a period of time, moisture and dirt will get stuck between the glass.

You may notice that you have fog in your double pane windows and in some cases, condensation may form.

What are your options for double pane window repair?

Should your double pane window be foggy or have trapped water inside, you do not have to replace it. You may just opt to repair the foggy window. Repairing your window is 50% cheaper than buying a new one. Your second option is to take it to a professional window repair near you. However, this can prove to be quite expensive.

How is a repair done?

There are a few methods that the experts use to clear up double pane windows. However, each involves drilling a small hole in the corner of the window. If you choose to clean and restore your windows, you will need to use pump cleaners to remove the dirt that may have been trapped. Using a second hole, the particles are suctioned back out. Finally, a drying agent is sent through the hole, then the holes are sealed, and the windows become new.  Depending on the type of window you have, you will need the following supplies:

  • Hammer
  • 4-foot level
  • Circular saw
  • Drill
  • Drill bits
  • Nails
  • Utility knife
  • Caulking gun

Materials:

  • Window
  • Drip edge
  • Casing nails
  • Silicone caulk
  • Fiberglass insulation

What if the window is broken?

To save money you do not need to replace the insulating windows but opt to repair them. You will only need to replace the glass. This is less expensive than getting brand new frames.

You will first need to remove all the broken glass from the frame. Then you will need to find a glass supplier with the type of glass that you need. You will then need to install the exterior glass pane first (dependent on the design of your window) and the interior glass pane. Following these steps, you may now finalize the installation.

Depending on the design of your windows, you will use different methods:

  • Windows with a rubber gasket: If your windows have wooden sashes, you will need to remove the sash pieces first. Then remove the small screws that are holding the rails and stiles. You should use a rubber mallet to make the frame lose from the gasket and double pane glass. Then remove the gasket from the glass system and fit it onto your new double pane window unit. Use silicone to seal the small gaps.
  • Windows that use sealing tape – Pry out the window stops with a putty knife first. Then with a utility knife, you must cut off the existing tape. Make sure that you completely remove all the old tape using an all-purpose solvent. Smear the new sealing tape on the frame and lower the double pane window to stick. Seal all the gaps with silicon, be sure to use a clear silicone.
  • Windows with caulking around glass: Pry and remove the wooden stops. Just like with the sealing tape, you should clean out all the old caulking using a blade. You may want to use a hair dryer or heat gun to soften the previous adhesive and scrape it all off. When it is dry you may apply to caulk to the frame and lower it onto the double pane window. Once again apply clear silicone to any small holes or spaces.

Once this is done you should level the window and thereafter tack the window in its place. You may want to use shims to fill the spaces between the jambs and the framing as the window may have some movement despite using nails. The shims will help to centralize the window in the opening. Later, you will trim the shims to fit perfectly in the spaces. Don’t forget to fill around the entire window with silicone once you are done and fill the nail holes. When the silicone dries you may paint over it to match the trims on the rest of your home.

Repairing a broken glass does not have to be a costly affair. You will need to do relevant research and educate yourself on the various ways relevant to the type of window you have. Once you know this, repairing is simple and cost-effective. In some instances, it is difficult to find a suitable window repair near you so it may be the best option to learn from a DIY video. However, you may want to enlist the help of another person to help you if you are not confident enough to try it on your own.

Tips to Help You Create the Best Content for Marketing on Social Media

If you are envious of those lovely social media contents, which are filling your social newsfeed and wondering how you can create the same kind of contents for your brands, then here it is. That is the right post for you!

You need to understand that you are not the only one. Around 55 percent of the marketers report about resources lacking for high-quality content development across the entire industry. You can even use what you learn for your audience and inform the same of your future contents. In this post, we will cover some of the fantastic ways of developing unique and out of the box contents.

First of all, you need to understand the importance of contents in social media. Always remember, your content should be as such so that it can call forth a reply from the audience, ultimately driving them to buy your service and product. However, if you think about the social audience, for instance, a specific group, then you can make use of the details you get to frame a much better and meaningful content which will certainly ensure that the viewers take a definite action.

On-site content development

There are several ways you can create content on-site. In case you have any retail location, then you can go in-store and then gather some content. The main fact regarding shooting inside the store is that you will be surrounded conveniently with all the necessary products. You can leverage this to come up with specific contents as well as a content library which you can pull from as per the need.

The events cannot be forgotten at any cost. No matter whether you are hosting an annual event or several influencers on-site for shooting a video, just take the advantage. In fact, audiences will also love to have those behind-the-scenes and exclusive contents. At the same time, you will have loads of contents with you at the end of the day along with a wide variety of video and imagery to select from when you want to post on the social media. Just ensure that you have the proper photography disclosures along with a stable wifi- connection.

Repurpose the existing assets

There are chances that you may have many digital asset stuff from the various promotional stuff lying all across. With the help some simple tools, one can use the content by optimizing it for the social media. In case you have video access, then just use them. Nowadays, platform algorithms basically give importance to the video contents, and Facebook video is receiving more reach than the Facebook photos, say around 135%. The long commercials can be cut down into bite-sized, making them social friendly and shareable across networks.

Content development – In-house

According to the concept of some marketers, for the in-house content shoot, there is a significant requirement for expensive and elaborate on-site studio. However, it is not so. One just needs to have a small office space with room for reusable materials. Just, keep a small amount of lighting equipment along with a tripod. Then you are on the right track!

With this small studio in-house, now you have complete freedom to create content as per your choice. Just imagine, your creative team draws a unique concept for holiday post which needs to be made life tomorrow. What will you do in such a situation? However, no problem! Just visit the shop, get the wrapping paper backdrop and an iPhone and your work is done, your vision can be made life in no time.

Content developers – Third party

Just like events, one can come across several ways in which you can get assets of third-party, which include photography services, influencers of social media and user-generated contents. Let’s start with the Carusele influencers’ specialty service. You must be wondering what Carusele is? Well, in brief, I can just say that Carusele is not any rocket science but a specific system for content targeting for influencer that is used for leveraging a special approach to the influencer market which combines the influencer marketing power and media purchasing to assist brands in reaching the group of targeted audiences – all over the social media.

The Carusele influencer program includes a huge amount of quality contents which are actually developed by the influencers. In fact, this is said to be the best part of this entire program. Here, we are talking about unique and quality contents featuring the brand which you can utilize on the channels. Yes, if you have the rights to the content then you can just repurpose the content as per your need. And having the content rights is quite general for the Carusele campaigns. In fact, you can often see that clients use the influencer contents for award shows, billboards, magazine spread, etc.

How Can AI Advance EdTech

The following article has been inspired by the thoughts of Mr. Mayank Srivastava. He is the Founder of Experts’ Global, one of the world’s leading EdTech firms in the field of GMAT prep and MBA admission consulting.

The term Education Technology, or EdTech as it is often called, refers to the practice of employing technology in education. As a highly adaptive industry, the education sector has always been ready to embrace new technology and new ideas. This is even more applicable to the student body, at large. Many types of technology have already become commonplace, in the world of education. Such technology includes search engines, live webinars, video streaming, and even specialized training applications. If we are to consider where the next big advancement in EdTech is to come from, we would probably find that the answer is in the field of artificial intelligence.  Machine learning algorithms have already seen a good deal of success, in a number of use cases. Here are some of the ways that we can expect to see artificial intelligence advance EdTech.

Providing Adaptive Learning Solutions

As all students have their own individual learning capacity, it naturally follows that they will have their own individual learning requirements. Educators have always found it a challenge to be able to match every student’s requirements, as they do not have the time or resources to cater to each student individually. Machine learning is a type of artificial intelligence that learns by gathering user data and might have the solution for this predicament. Machine learning algorithms can identify patterns in a student’s performance and rework the program to better fit them. These algorithms can also identify the student’s exact weak areas.

Adopting Deep Learning

Deep learning is a subfield of artificial intelligence that has a lot of potential within EdTech. It is a subfield of artificial intelligence that is concerned with algorithms and artificial neural networks, based on the structure and functions of the human brain. Deep learning algorithms track student behavior and use it to identify the level of their cognitive abilities. These algorithms can be partnered with EdTech solutions that can make learning recommendations that will best suit the student, both in terms of style and content.

Developing Tools to Aid in Collaborative Education

It is quite clear, to one and all, how seamlessly technology has been integrated into our communications. We are able to collaborate with people, across the sharpest of divides, for our leisure activities. Artificial Intelligence will be able to help us design tools to collaborate, just as effectively, in our educational and learning pursuits. These tools will foster an unparalleled sense of closeness, within the student community.

Freeing Up Time for Class Discussions

With EdTech tools, educators can save a lot of time on minor tasks. Scheduling, data keeping, organizational work, and the grading of objective type answers can already be handled by EdTech. Soon we will even be able to use EdTech to grade subjective answers, thank to specially designed artificial intelligence. Educators will not even have to spend time on developing and delivering lectures. We will have pre-developed video lectures, developed by the best minds in each field. With most other tasks being handled by EdTech, educators will be able to devote the maximum amount of time to class discussions and answering student queries- areas where human effort cannot b replaced.

How to Properly Clean Your Computer Glasses

Just bought your Computer Glasses a few weeks ago? There seems to be no better feeling than to be able to work on your home or work computer without straining your eyes. All spectacle wearers can’t hide the feeling that comes with putting on clear, unhindered visions using crystal clear Computer Glasses.

However, sometimes, this time is usually cut short by smears, streaks, and even fingerprints. Nothing can turn your joyous mood off than dirty Computer Glasses. Makes you just want to pull them off and wipe them using your shirt or sweater or just any piece of clothing that’s around.

But then, this can end up being where all your troubles start. You can’t just use any piece of clothing you find to clean your Computer Glasses. Improper cleaning of these glasses can end up damaging your modern lenses. And yes, even the Computer Glasses with anti-scratch features end up being damaged over time when improperly cleaned.

There are, however, better ways to ensure you clean your Computer Glasses and have them looking as good as new without compromising their integrity.

For optimum vision, follow these Computer Glass cleaning tips

Even if you have no other option, using tissues or any clothing is not usually the best option for cleaning your glasses. The particles of these clothing and tissues usually leave particles of dirt and dust on the lenses. These foreign particles often cause micro-scratches which eventually blur and impair the vision and quality of the lenses. It is crucial to note that scratches cannot be removed whether they are on your plastic or glass lenses. You may think that the defects only appear to be of a cosmetic nature. But when light gets dispersed by these micro-fine scratches, it ends up irritating the eye. And the only remedy to this is only usually to get new Computer Glasses which can be overly expensive sometimes.

Wash and dry your hands first

Before you commence with cleaning your Computer Glasses, it is essential that you, first, wash your hands thoroughly and dry them. This helps to ensure that your hands are free of any dirt, grime, lotion or anything that can easily transfer to your Computer Glass lenses. So, while washing your hands, use lotion-free soap.

  1. Using microfiber cleaning cloths

You can now find many microfiber cleaning cloths that are perfect for cleaning lenses. These microfiber cleaning cloths are scratch-free. They are also lint-free and, thus, are your best first line of defense when planning to clean your glasses.

Good microfiber cleaning cloths work great for day-to-day cleaning. They help provide you a clearer image plus get rid of all the dirt and dust particles and any other debris that may have found their way on your lenses.

You simply need to use these cloths gently on your lenses to remove any debris on your lenses. You, however, need to be careful not to apply too much pressure on your lenses when wiping them using the microfiber cleaning cloths. Lest you end up scratching your lenses instead. You also need to realize that repeated wiping can eventually wear down the coating on the glasses. When this happens, your Computer Glasses will more likely end up being scratched or damaged.

In most instances, you find these clothes being sold with the specialty lenses as well. They also usually come in small sizes. Small enough for you to fit into the casing of your glasses. So, you can always access them whenever you need them. Without having the pressure to use your shirt or sweater to clean your lenses.

So, if you can, you should also fit a good microfiber cleaning cloth in your bill when buying your Computer Glasses.

  1. Using lens cleaners

Some specialized lens cleaners are also available for cleaning Computer Glasses. You can always find them at drug stores or grocery outlets. Individual lens cleaners come with their own sets of instructions that you must follow when cleaning your lenses. It is usually recommended that you only spray each of your lenses directly once and then wipe them off using an appropriate scratch-free, lint-free cloth. You do not need to use the lens cleaners often on your Computer Glasses. Instead, only use them when you haven’t worn your glasses for a particularly long time, and they have accumulated some dust or dirt.

  1. Dish soap method

Yes! You can actually use dish soap to clean your Computer Glasses. Manufacturers also recommend using dish soap for cleaning glass lenses. To successfully use this method, you need to put a single drop of dish soap on each of your glass lenses under running water. As this happens, you can rub your lenses gently using your fingers to remove any dirt on them.

Your next step should then to rinse the lenses using warm flowing water. After this, your last step is to pat your glasses using scratch-resistant and lint-resistant cloth.

  1. Have your glasses cleaned professionally

There are situations where you may not be able to clean your glasses properly. Take, for example, where your lenses are in good shape, but the glass’s nose pads or other components defeat you to clean without damaging your Computer Glasses. In such situations, you need to see an eye care professional.

Here, the professional thoroughly clean your glasses using an ultrasonic cleaning device. In case there are any yellowing nose pads, then those can also be replaced with new ones. It is essential that before you attempt to clean your Computer Glasses yourself, you first check with a professional whether that is possible.

  1. Use the glass’s protective storage case

Almost all eyeglasses, Computer Glasses included, come with protective storage cases where you can keep them safe. It is, therefore, necessary that you always store your glasses in their respective cases whenever you are not using them. Even if you are sleeping, glasses are very fragile and can easily get scratched or damaged if not properly cared for.

Final thoughts

There is a lot to cleaning your glasses. Just about everybody has his/her own way of cleaning their Computer Glasses. However, very few methods are recommended and ensure that you do not damage or interfere with the integrity of your Computer Glasses even as you clean them. They are the ones discussed in this article. Try them out and see which one works best for you.

3 Xmas Tech Gifts for Girls

With the holidays quickly approaching, it can be hard to know what gifts to get for the special women in your life. You don’t want to give mundane presents without any meaning. Whether you are shopping for your friend, sister, daughter, mom, or significant other, this list of Christmas tech gift ideas should help you give the best presents.

Phone Accessories

Who doesn’t like getting new accessories for their phone? With cell phones as common as they are today, it is nice to be able to vary their look and glam them up. There are many phone cases out there that are so pretty and beautiful and will add a nice change to one’s style. New earphones or pop sockets are also great accessories for sprucing up a phone.

Items such like these are perfect because many wouldn’t think to get them for themselves. Even consider getting less glamorous, more useful accessories such as a screen protector or new charger. That way, every time she no longer has to position the cord a certain way to charge her phone, she will think of you and be grateful!

Many people might overlook these simple but meaningful gift options. A great thing about phone accessories is that they are easily customizable. Get the object in her favorite color or design to make it an even more special gift. Perhaps the best part about these presents is the price! Phone accessories such as these generally run pretty cheap and can easily be found in most stores or online.

Kitchen Appliances

If she is into baking or has ever expressed interest in wanting to get into culinary, these are the perfect gifts! They can be on the pricier end but won’t break the bank by any means. If you purchase a good quality piece of equipment, consider it an investment that will be useful and last for many years. She will greatly appreciate you taking her interests into account and helping her further pursue her passion.

There are a lot of good choices on the market to include stand mixers, Instant Pots, and even juicers. Research different brands of equipment and consider what she likes to do in order to pick the right appliance.

If she’s not into cooking, there are other good appliances that you could get her. For instance, if she can’t make it through the day without her morning coffee, get her a coffee maker. Maybe her microwave is old and can barely heat her food; buy her a new one! The possibilities are endless.

E-Reader

3 Xmas Tech Gifts for Girls 1

Again, you should consider her hobbies when deciding whether or not to get her this gift. If she is a bookworm, an e-reader will be a hit! They can be more convenient and environmentally-friendly than old-fashioned paper books.

This is another gift that is generally more expensive, but don’t let that deter you! If you save up for it and buy it at the right time, it will be worth the cost. She will cherish it and get a lot of use out of it.

For an extra touch, load it up with some books beforehand! Add the ones that you know she loves or has been meaning to read for ages. Maybe even put in books you enjoy – most bookworms love new material and will appreciate the thoughtfulness of adding your own recommendations.

Final Thoughts

In short, the best gifts come from the heart. Cater to what she likes, wants, or needs. Pay extra close attention around the holidays because many are known to drop hints, making the process of picking out a present easier for you. You don’t have to spend a lot of money; just put some thought into the gift. Regardless of what you get her, she will most likely be grateful that you took the time and effort to pick out a gift for her in the first place.

Public WI-FI Safety

Public Wi-Fi can be a lifesaver in those moments where one needs to urgently connect to the Internet and has no other option. Public Wi-FI also serves as a great way for persons on a budget with their Internet subscription plan to connect to the Internet without incurring extra costs. Public Wi-Fi is also readily available, from coffee shops to airports and hotels.

As much as the use of public Wi-Fi comes with the advantage of incurring lower costs and helps with emergency moments, it also exposes users to countless threats. We will be highlighting those threats, as well as sharing tips for staying safe while using public Wi-Fi and choosing the best precautionary measures. For VPNs, for example, it is necessary to go through resources such as VPN reviews when deciding on the best VPN.

Public Wi-Fi threats

Research has established that public Wi-Fi is not as secure as users typically assume. It has been established that the WPA2 encryption which is the standard encryption on a lot of Wi-Fi does not provide a lot of security to users as a hacker with the right skill set can access users’ information and invade their privacy.

Seeing that a lot of establishments that offer public Wi-Fi use the WPA2 standard encryption, it is important to consider taking precautions while using public Wi-Fi.

The common security threats from using public Wi-Fi are highlighted below.

Malicious hotspots and malware distribution

Hackers lurk around public Wi-Fi and even create malicious hotspots to access users’ information. With malware distribution, a hacker entices a user to download a file with malware which gives access to the victim’s device.

Victims cannot generally tell when a malware is on their device and the hacker could gain access to the user’s phone unrestricted for a long period. Malware gives both online and offline access to the victim’s device and the scope of the attack could be unpredictable.

With malicious hotspots, hackers set up a Wi-Fi connection with which they can steal users information and mask the hotspot as a legitimate one sometimes copying the name of a nearby legitimate hotspot.

Snooping, sniffing and man-in-the-middle attacks

These attacks are aimed at intercepting communications between a user’s device and the WIFi allowing hackers to steal users’ information. Hackers concentrate majorly on accessing a user’s information undetected and apply several methods and tools in achieving that goal. One of such methods is the interception of file sharing.

How to stay safe while using public Wi-Fi

While using public Wi-Fi, it is important to take precautionary measures because of the security threats which include those mentioned above. Some of the precautionary measures that can be taken while using public Wi-Fi are highlighted below.Do not enter personal information when using public Wi-Fi

Hackers generally hunt for personal information of users. If the user does not enter any personal or sensitive information while they are connected to public Wi-Fi, even if the hacker employs the best tools, they will get nothing from the hacker.

Such sensitive and personal information include address, credit card information, passwords, social security number, and phone number. This means staying away from platforms that require the information highlighted above while connected to a public Wi-Fi

Use a VPN

A VPN is a necessity for persons that need to use public Wi-Fi consistently. When one uses a VPN, the information they share while using public Wi-Fi becomes encrypted as it goes through the VPN server.

With a VPN, one can thus stay above the security threats associated with the use of public Wi-Fi. Even if a hacker intercepts the information of a VPN user, the information will be encrypted and useless to the hackers.

When choosing a VPN, it is important to consider the different features that tell the level of security and privacy offered. Trusted VPN reviews available online consider the different features and guide intending users in making the best decisions.

Disable file sharing

When file sharing is turned on, hackers are given more room to attack the user. A major precautionary measure for staying safe while connected to public Wi-Fi is to turn off file sharing.

The operating system of some devices turns off file sharing when users activate the public option when they connect to public Wi-Fi. Even if the only option is to turn off file sharing manually, it is important to take that measure to ensure safety while using public Wi-Fi.

Get an unlimited data plan

Public Wi-Fi, more often than not, come to the rescue when one has no other option. To prevent such emergency moments, investing in an unlimited data plan is a great idea. With an unlimited data plan, one would never experience moments where they have no option but to connect to public Wi-Fi and would stay completely safe from the security threats.

The use of public Wi-Fi comes with a lot of risks and it is advised to take precautionary measures against these risks, especially if it is not possible to stay completely off the public Wi-Fi.
