How to secure PayPal

How to secure PayPal By- Aarti Jatan Your online finances need proper protection. Learn how to secure your PayPal account. With hundreds of millions of users around the world, PayPal has long been an international leader in the electronic payments industry. But as we know, money never fails to attract fraud, especially now, with as much of life as possible taking place online. Here is what you need to do to stay safe when sending or receiving money through PayPal. How secure is PayPal? As a matter of fact, PayPal is quite a reliable platform that maintains a high level of security — and keeps improving it.

Five regular checks for SMBs

Five regular checks for SMBs By- Aarti Jatan Five things that, if neglected, can cost SMBs dearly. It is not always economically viable for small and medium-size businesses to maintain a dedicated IT security team, so it often happens that one person is in charge of monitoring the entire infrastructure. Sometimes he or she is not even a permanent, full-time employee. Sure, a good administrator can do a lot, but even a pro might miss something, particularly if issues are mounting and time is short. So, it’s worth establishing a few habits. Here are our Top 5 regular checks. Renew the corporate site security certificate Any website that requests or processes user data must have an SSL certificate. It protects information entered by visitors from being intercepted, and almost all modern browsers  warn  users that sites without an SSL certificate are insecure. That can scare off potential customers. Your website most likely has an SSL certificate, but its validity period is limite...
