CyTRAP Labs - Wincurity - smarter protection

- Who we are and what we do

- What others say about us

- CyTRAP Labs’ alerts - what is the diff?

As we have pointed out before, knowing about today’s latest form of a virus spreading via the internet does, unfortunately, not prepare the user for the threat that might be spreading like a pandemic via the web tomorrow.

However, pro-active measures help improve one’s security posture and thereby reduce one’s risk for becoming a victim of such things as a phishing attack. For this reason we publish the:

- CyTRAP Labs and CASEScontact.org security guides - today’s protection against tomorrow’s threats and exploits

These guides appear in English and German including a podcast in those languages. These guides or tips provide one with help regarding particular types of issues, such as:

- CASEScontact.org guide: Keep your data backups safe, simple and fast

- CASEScontact.org guide: Secure instant messaging

- CASEScontact.org guide: Removing hidden and confidential information from Word files

- CASEScontact.org guide: the best ways for getting rid of spyware and stealthware

CASESContact.org security guides address particular issues in some depth including providing users with free software (open source) to address the problem.

More targeted issues that might be of concern to a home-user or an SME are addressed by WinCurity, such as:

- How to minimize risk exposure regarding zero-day exploits concerning Microsoft Word?

- CyTRAP Labs - security guide - Mozilla and Firefox - stopping Google from prefetching web pages

- CyTRAP Labs - Windows Java Runtime Environment uninstallation instructions - better protection with Firefox

- CyTRAP Labs’ choice - free tool - using Gmail drive shell extension as one more drive for important backups

_WHERE CAN ONE SIGN UP?_

As the above shows, when it comes to our security guides and tips our focus is on home users and SMEs (Small and Medium-Sized Enterprises - in Europe 70% or more of employees work for such type of firms). Most importantly, our information is written for people who are not engineers by training.

Our step-by-step guidelines, checklists and free tools are empowering users in effectively minimizing their risk exposure against a variety of threats:
