4. Would it surprise you if...
5. 67% of consumers... Don’t have password protection on their devices. (Sophos, August 2011)
6. Now, this isn’t a problem in itself... But, it can be disastrous if your device is LOST or, STOLEN.
7. All devices can be Password Protected
8. { 9/10 } The estimated number of break-in attempts that would be thwarted if people simply locked their computers.
9. And, it doesn’t have to be too complicated.
10. The password: do graze irk has 49 bits of entropy.
11. It’s also a password that can be remembered, in some way.
12. And it can be typed fairly quickly.
13. It really takes about as much effort as: password1234 But, is far more secure.

15. Please don't.
16. Video
17. Passwords are a start.
18. How do you keep your passwords together?
19. Believe it or not… Some people still use pencil, and paper, or try to keep it in their heads.
20. There are a lot of good password managers.
21. Raise your hand if you’re using KeePass.
22. KeePass is very popular.
23. KeePass is also probably not secure.
24. The French ANSSI (Their version of the FBI) Did an Audit...
25. And it checked out.
26. All of these are pretty cool.
27. Password managers are flawed.
28. It doesn’t often matter to the consumer which manager they use.
29. Just as long as it works. For consumers stuff like LastPass is a good start.
30. Just as long as it’s not a notebook.
31. Mr. T. pities the fool who doesn’t have a password manager.
32. Mentioning passwords...
33. Device encryption is an important security tool.
34. Many people fail to encrypt even the most important data.
35. Or, overlook critical points.
36. You can encrypt almost anything.
37. Desktops, phones, tablets; OS X, Windows, etc
38. If you do it, do it right.
39. Sometimes built in tools are the best you’ve got.
41. It’s still just a deterrent.
43. Enough about passwords.
44. Let’s talk about two-factor authentication.
45. First off, what is it?
46. 2 factor is: 1. Something you know (password) 2. Something you have (token)
47. Now we know what it is...
48. Let’s talk about why.
49. It’s mostly to make your password half-useless.
50. There are many different “tokens”.
51. The Text Message
52. The App
54. The RSA Token
55. The Hardware Token
58. Malicious Program Protection
59. There are different kinds of threats, and different solutions.
60. Anti-Malware Versus Anti-Virus
61. It helps consumers to understand the threats out there.
62. It helps to have multiple lines of defense.
63. There are some fairly decent products.
64. And, some questionable services.
65. Product choice starts fights.
66. There are different measures of success.
67. Nothing’s perfect.
