Three Reasons you Should Take out Mobile Insurance for Your New Smartphone

Whether you use it for work, private use, entertainment, or an all-round digital aid, your smartphone is a valuable asset and needs to be protected. You may feel that wrapping your new smartphone in a reliable protective case is protection enough, but no matter how careful you are, it still remains vulnerable. Taking out insurance on your new smartphone is the only way to get real protection and here are three reasons why:

LOSS AND DAMAGE

It doesn’t matter how careful anyone is when handling their smartphone. They are still vulnerable devices, despite recent innovations to make them tougher. Because they are so often carried around and are used in almost every setting, smartphones are vulnerable to damage and loss. Many people think they are so cautious that they will never damage or lose their phone. There have been a lot of surveys conducted on the subject, and different figures are referred to, but a good half of smartphone owners surveyed have reported their handset getting damaged or lost. A significant number reported damage by simply accidentally dropping their phone down a toilet. Repairs to handsets are expensive, and complete replacement can be even more so. Insurance can offset these costs, and in some instances provide a completely new replacement handset at no extra cost, providing the right type of policy has been chosen. read more

5 Steps to Achieving PCI compliance

Achieving PCI compliance is essential for any business working with payment cards, regardless of their size. While it can be a difficult process, working toward this goal is vital for preventing any security-related catastrophes that could affect both customers and merchants.

To successfully achieve compliance, firms should conduct formal risk assessments to help expose any existing holes in their security that can be fixed before they become an actual problem. When doing so, business leaders should also consider segmenting their network and outsourcing any unnecessary storage to help minimize the scope of their strategy and greatly reduce the risk of breaches. read more
