Surf Safely on your travels

by Sherry on July 26th, 2008

There are many reasons you might need to log on while you’re traveling. You may need to check in on work or stay in touch with people back home. Maybe you just miss your favorite blog or want to read your email and you’ve realized the coffee shop you’re patronizing is actually an Internet café. Using a public computer is a great way to access the Internet if you’re traveling and don’t wish to bring your laptop, but it also poses a danger depending on which sites you’re visiting.

Using the IronKey is a great way to protect yourself when you’re online away from home. It comes loaded with Firefox and by using it on another computer everything you do online goes through the IronKey with its own encryption. It keeps you from being caught by spyware that may log your keystrokes, potentially getting your password to all kinds of websites, or your banking information.

It’s very easy to slip it into a purse or carry-on bag so that it’s always with you, keeping your sensitive online business YOUR business and no one else’s.

You can buy one starting at $79.00 for the 1 GB personal drive with one year of Internet protection.
