Incident Reporting
Monte: Hi. This is Monte from Preserver. Jeff: Good morning, Monte. Monte, I understand that incident reporting in this litigious age is obviously very important, and the Preserver app is ideal for that. Monte: Mate, it is just a perfect tool for that for providing personal protection. And as I was showing you before, I’ve got Preserver on my home screen. If I click on it, it just takes me one click. I can put personal protection and it’ll pop up and immediately give me date, time, GPS coordinates, and location. And that’s the starting place for all incident reporting. And then it’s kind of a sequence of activities. Who,…

Passwords
Monte: Hi. This is Monte, and today, I’m talking about passwords. Jeff: Thanks, Monte. Could you tell us what is the best practice regarding password protection? Monte: Yep. Well, passwords should typically be 12 characters in length. They should include not only, letters, but also numbers and special characters. That can become a challenge, though, Jeffrey. Jeff: Yeah. Well, I can imagine, Monte, we all have a zillion passwords. Monte: Right. And the best thing to do is for a small fee, to pay for a password, vault, if you’d like. I use LastPass, but there are a number of them. You pay one fee, and it’ll manage all your…

Anti-Virus Software
Monte: Hello. This is Monte from Preserver, and today, I’m talking about anti-virus software. Jeff: It’s gonna be important, Monte. What are the names that can be trusted in this software field.

Data Security
Monte: Hi. This is Monte from the Preserver app, and today, I want to talk about ensuring your data security. Jeff: Thanks, Monte. Monte, what is data security? Monte: Well, there’s 3 key elements of data security. There’s data at rest, which is in storage, data in transit, which is moving back and forth across the internet. And data in use, which is, you know, on your computer or on your phone. And all three of those, can be protected. Jeff: Okay, and how? Monte: Well, at rest, it’s password protection or 2 factor authentication. In transit. it’s a Virtual Private Network, which I’ll talk about in another video. And…

SD Cards
Monte: The best storage and the best backup device for information connected on your phone is not in the cloud, but in a storage device like this card. This is Monte from the Preserver app. Jeff: Okay, Monte. I know you’d prefer to use an SD card. Why is that and what cost is involved? Monte: Right. Great question. This little SD card is a 128 gigabytes. So that’ll actually do my whole iPhone 15 here, and it costs less than $20. It has no moving parts, and it doesn’t require electricity to hold storage like hard drives do. Jeff: OK and it’s not on the Internet, so it can’t…
