Indecent Exposure-Internet Access Security Issues Away From the Office - Ed Zollars - a podcast by steve@leimbergservices.com

This Podcast considers technical security issues that arise when you are traveling and take your laptop with you to "stay connected" with your office and clients.  There are a number of risks that have been discussed in recent weeks on Steve Gibson and Leo Laporte's Security Now podcast that I wanted to discuss in the context of a tax professional.

We look at how your system may be compromised and your data exposed rather easily by any other machine on a network you are connected to (incluidng a hotel high speed network or a wifi hotspot at your local coffee shop).  And by this I mean a machine of any other guest or patron of the shop, or just someone in distance of the hotspot.   As well, we discuss why wifi encryption does not address this problem, and why additional steps are necessary.  We also discuss the steps you can take to make your transmissions truly secure.
