Price: [price_with_discount] (as of [price_update_date] - Details) [ad_1] Buslink CipherShield USB 3.0/eSATA 256-bit Encrypted Hard Drive Series prevents unauthorized access to your digital data. CipherShield design features a chip embedded in the access key which matches the AES encryption module on the controller board. The drive will automatically lock down its content once the key is unplugged, or power is shut off. And without the access key, data will not be seen or accessed in the event of theft or loss of the external drive. Data stored on the hard drive are safeguarded by hardware-based National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) certified industrial strength AES (Advanced Encryption standard) cryptographic engine. The advantage of hardware encryption over software encryption is that you need not be concerned about Trojans/viruses or software upgrades, which results in a decrease of total cost of ownership. Since CipherShield encrypts data independent of the operating system; removing the drive and connecting it directly to the SATA BUS will not defeat the encryption. Unit is bundled with two keys and registration is required for key duplication. System Requirement: Microsoft Windows 10, 8, 7, Vista, Server 2016, 2012, 2008, 2003 (XP and 2000 Server not supported for larger than 2TB), Mac OS X 10.4 or later with Intel Processor, Linux with GPT support. Package Content: CipherShield USB 3.0/eSATA 256-bit AES External Hard Drive, 2 Cipherkeys, USB 3.0 and eSATA cables, Power Adapter, and User manual. NIST FIPS 140-2 Level 2 compliant AES hardware encryption with 256-bit encryption Conforms to HIPAA regulation regarding patient privacy and to Sarbanes-Oxley regarding corporate financial and accounting practice CipherShield Smart Insert technology with CipherKey to authenticate the drive Encryption key is on the removable hardware key; can be removed and stored away to prevent unauthorized access Operates independently to the OS: does not require separate drivers [ad_2]

Windows Memory Cleaner: libere memória RAM e otimize o desempenho do Windows

Se você já se perguntou por que seu computador está ficando cada vez mais lento, a resposta pode estar relacionada ao uso excessivo de memória. Afinal, a memória RAM desempenha um papel crucial no desempenho do seu sistema, e quando sobrecarrega, seu PC perde a velocidade e a eficiência. Felizmente, existe uma ferramenta poderosa chamada Windows Memory Cleaner, que pode ajudar a melhorar o desempenho do seu computador e liberar memória RAM. Vamos explicar o que é o Windows Memory Cleaner, como ele funciona e como usar para otimizar a memória do seu PC.

O que é o Windows Memory Cleaner?

O Windows Memory Cleaner é uma ferramenta de otimização que tem como objetivo liberar a memória RAM do seu computador, por recursos nativos do Windows. É um aplicativo compacto, portátil e inteligente. Ele é ideal para quando você percebe que seu PC está mais lento do que o normal e a causa pode ser o uso excessivo de memória. O projeto está no GitHub e foi criado por IgorMundstein.

Por que liberar memória RAM? Quando você abre vários aplicativos ou programas ao mesmo tempo, o Windows aloca memória RAM para cada um deles. Mesmo após fechar esses programas, a memória nem sempre é liberada automaticamente, o que pode resultar em um acúmulo de dados desnecessários. O Windows Memory Cleaner entra em ação para resolver esse problema e liberar essa memória.

Como o Windows Memory Cleaner Pode Ajudar?

O aplicativo possui uma interface minimalista e recursos inteligentes. Ele é portátil, ou seja, não requer instalação, mas exige privilégios de administrador para ser executado. Aqui estão algumas vantagens de usar o Windows Memory Cleaner: - Lista de páginas combinadas: Limpa os blocos da lista de páginas combinadas efetivamente somente quando a combinação de páginas está habilitada - Lista de páginas modificada: Limpa a memória da lista de páginas modificadas, gravando dados não salvos no disco e movendo as páginas para a lista de espera - Conjunto de Trabalho de Processos: Remove a memória de todos os conjuntos de trabalho do modo de usuário e do sistema e os move para as listas de páginas de espera ou modificadas - Lista de espera: Libera páginas de todas as listas de espera para a lista livre - Lista de espera (baixa prioridade): Libera páginas da lista de espera de menor prioridade para a lista livre - Conjunto de trabalho do sistema: Remove a memória do conjunto de trabalho do cache do sistema

Requisitos do sistema:

- Microsoft .NET Framework 4 - Windows XP/ Vista/ 7/ 8/ 10/ 11 - Windows Server 2003/ 2008/ 2012/ 2016/ 2019/ 2022/

Como baixar o Windows Memory Cleaner?

Para baixar, basta clicar no Botão Download abaixo e acessar o site Oficial do GitHub e clicar no Botão Download no site do desenvolvedor como no exemplo abaixo:

Dicas Extras para Melhorar desempenho do PC

Aqui estão algumas dicas adicionais para complementar o uso do Windows Memory Cleaner e otimizar ainda mais o desempenho do seu computador: 1. Feche Programas Desnecessários Sempre que terminar de usar um programa, feche-o corretamente. Mesmo que você minimize a janela, o aplicativo ainda pode estar consumindo recursos. 2. Use o Gerenciador de Tarefas do Windows Abra o Gerenciador de Tarefas (Ctrl + Shift + Esc) e verifique quais programas estão consumindo muita memória. Feche os que não estão sendo utilizados. 3. Desative Programas na Inicialização Alguns programas são configurados para iniciar automaticamente com o Windows. Desative esses programas no Gerenciador de Tarefas para reduzir o consumo de memória logo após o boot. 4. Instale Mais Memória RAM Se o seu computador continua lento mesmo após liberar memória, pode ser hora de investir em mais RAM. Adicionar memória física pode fazer uma grande diferença no desempenho. 5. Verifique por Malware Vírus e malwares podem consumir muita memória e deixar seu sistema mais lento. Faça verificações regulares com seu antivírus para garantir que seu computador esteja limpo.

Considerações Finais sobre o Windows Memory Cleaner

O Windows Memory Cleaner é uma ferramenta útil para otimizar a memória do seu computador, especialmente em momentos em que você percebe uma queda no desempenho. Ao seguir os passos acima e usar as dicas extras, você pode garantir que seu sistema se mantenha ágil e sem travamentos. Lembre-se de que, além de limpar a memória, é importante adotar boas práticas no uso diário do computador, como fechar aplicativos não utilizados e realizar manutenções regulares. Agora que você sabe como usar o Windows Memory Cleaner, aproveite ao máximo o seu PC e tenha uma experiência mais rápida e fluida! Gostou deste artigo?

The Origin Of Nessus Initiated by Tenable co-founder Renaud Deraison, a cybersecurity specialist, Nessus started its path in 1998 as part of the Nessus Project. The effort sought a free, remote security scanner for the online community. This program became well-known among cybersecurity experts quite fast. However, in 2005, Nessus moved from free, open-source software to a proprietary, closed-source solution. Despite this change, Tenable has kept providing Nessus with free and premium options to maintain its competitive edge in the market. Nessus and Tenable: Key Facts You Need to Know Tenable is a notable cybersecurity firm headquartered in Columbia, Maryland, USA. Tenable has become a leader in the market since more than 40,000 companies all over depend on its security solutions.

The basic functionality of the free "Nessus Essentials" edition includes asset discovery scanning limited to 16 IPs for vulnerability assessment.

However, it offers a great beginning point for students and newbies to networking technology since it opens a portal into the Tenable ecosystem. Paid plans provide help from the Nessus community, unlimited IT assessments, configuration assessments, and customizable real-time reports. Features such as external attack surface scanning, domain addition capability, scan cloud infrastructure, and 500 pre-built scanning policies also abound in the "Nessus Expert" edition.

Client Support Tenable provides phone, live chat, email, and community forum-based customer service around the clock. Users of the free edition may thus have slower response times of up to 24 hours and lack phone or email assistance. Tenable offers thorough self-help alternatives, including a detailed FAQ section, how-to manuals, a resource library, and documentation pages for individuals wanting to handle problems alone. Additionally, a great source of advice and troubleshooting is the Nessus community. How Nessus Works? Nessus thoroughly scans an entire IT system to find holes and weak spots. Here's a quick rundown of what it can do: Types of Scans: Nessus has different types of scans, such as vulnerability scans, compliance checks, and configuration evaluations. TechRadar says users can choose from scan files already set up or make their own that fit their needs. Deployment: Nessus can be used with many different operating systems, such as Windows, macOS, and several different versions of Linux. To set up the software, you have to choose the correct version, install it, and then use a registration code Tenable gives you to make it work. Scanning Process: To do a scan, users go to the "Scans" area, click "New Scan," and pick a template. The scan can be started immediately or set to happen later once it has been set up. The results are shown in an easy-to-understand colour-coded style that indicates the seriousness of the vulnerabilities and details how to fix them.

Securing Remote Desktop (RDP) for System Administrators

Securing Remote Desktop (RDP) for System Administrators

How secure is Windows Remote Desktop? Is it vulnerable to unauthorized access? In this article, we will explore the security measures you can take to ensure the safety of your Remote Desktop sessions.

Remote Desktop Encryption Vulnerability

Remote Desktop sessions are typically encrypted, preventing unauthorized users from viewing your session. However, earlier versions of Remote Desktop Protocol (RDP) had a vulnerability that could allow unauthorized access through a man-in-the-middle attack. This means that someone could intercept and manipulate your session while it is being encrypted.

Fortunately, newer versions of Windows, such as Windows Vista, Windows 7, Windows 8, Windows 10, and Windows Server 2003/2008/2012/2016, offer the option to secure Remote Desktop sessions using SSL/TLS. It is highly recommended to use these secure protocols to protect your sessions.

Basic Security Tips for Remote Desktop

To ensure the security of Remote Desktop access, here are some essential tips:

Use strong passwords: It is crucial to use strong and unique passwords for any accounts with access to Remote Desktop. Make sure to follow the campus password complexity guidelines for creating secure passwords.

Consider two-factor authentication: Implementing two-factor authentication adds an extra layer of security. By integrating Remote Desktop Gateway with the Campus instance of DUO or other two-factor certificate-based smartcards, you can enhance the authentication process.

Keep your software updated: Remote Desktop components are automatically updated with the latest security fixes through Microsoft's patch cycle. Ensure that you are running the latest versions of the client and server software to benefit from these security updates. Additionally, make sure any Remote Desktop clients on other platforms are still supported and updated, as outdated versions may have security vulnerabilities.

Restrict access using firewalls: Utilize firewalls, both software and hardware, to restrict access to the Remote Desktop listening ports. By default, the Remote Desktop port is TCP 3389. Consider using an RDP Gateway to further restrict Remote Desktop access or use the campus VPN software to connect to the campus network securely.

Enable Network Level Authentication (NLA): Windows 10, Windows Server 2012 R2/2016/2019 provide Network Level Authentication by default. NLA adds an extra layer of authentication before establishing a connection. It is recommended to enable NLA on Remote Desktop servers and configure Remote Desktop clients on other platforms to support NLA.

Limit users who can log in using Remote Desktop: By default, all Administrators can log in to Remote Desktop. To enhance security, limit remote access only to those accounts that need it. Remove administrative access via RDP for non-system administration purposes and only allow user accounts that require RDP service. Consider creating technical groups instead of using the local Administrator account for remote access.

Set an account lockout policy: Configure your computer to lock an account for a set number of incorrect login attempts. This helps prevent brute-force attacks by automated password guessing tools. Set reasonable values for the account lockout policy, such as three invalid attempts with a three-minute lockout duration.

Best Practices for Additional Security

To further enhance the security of your Remote Desktop setup, consider these best practices:

Avoid direct RDP access from off-campus: Opening RDP (port 3389) to off-campus networks is highly discouraged due to the increased risk of attacks. Instead, utilize an RDP Gateway or other secure remote access methods to connect to your system from off-campus.

Use RDP Gateways: RDP Gateways provide a secure way to restrict access to Remote Desktop ports while supporting remote connections through a single gateway server. When using an RDP Gateway, configure your desktop and workstations to only allow access from the RD Gateway. This adds an extra layer of security to your Remote Desktop setup.

Change the listening port for Remote Desktop: Changing the default listening port for Remote Desktop (TCP 3389) helps prevent hackers from easily identifying and targeting your system. Edit the registry key HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\Terminal Server\WinStations\RDP-Tcp to change the listening port and update any firewall rules accordingly.

Tunnel Remote Desktop connections through IPsec or SSH: If an RDP Gateway is not feasible, consider adding an extra layer of authentication and encryption by tunneling your Remote Desktop sessions through IPsec or SSH. Both IPsec and SSH provide secure protocols for transmitting your Remote Desktop data.

Utilize existing management tools for RDP logging and configuration: Rather than using other remote administration tools like VNC or PCAnywhere, leverage the built-in logging and configuration capabilities of Remote Desktop. RDP logins are audited to the local security log and can be easily monitored for anomalies. Use Group Policy Objects (GPOs) or other Windows configuration management tools to ensure consistent and secure RDP configurations across your servers and desktops.

Restrict Access to RDP with Windows Firewall

If you have a personally-managed computer and Administrator access, you can configure the Windows Firewall to restrict access to your system via Remote Desktop. Follow these steps:

Go to Settings > Update and Security > Windows Security > Firewall and Network Protection > Advanced Settings.

In the Inbound Rules section, locate and select the Remote Desktop - User Mode (TCP-In) rule.

Open the properties of the selected rule.

In the Scope tab, specify the authorized IP addresses or subnets that can connect to your computer's Remote Desktop service.

Save the changes and ensure that only authorized hosts and networks can access your system via Remote Desktop (RDP) by configuring the firewall exceptions.

Campus IP Addresses and Subnets

When specifying authorized IP addresses or subnets, choose from the following common examples of campus networks:

Berkeley IT RD Gateway: 169.229.164.0/24

Campus Remote Access VPN Networks (bSecure Remote Access VPN): Refer to the Campus Remote Access VPN documentation for the authorized IP addresses and subnets.

By following these security measures and implementing best practices, you can ensure the safety of your Remote Desktop sessions and protect your systems from unauthorized access. Secure Remote Desktop access is vital for system administrators to manage their systems effectively and mitigate potential security risks.

Price: [price_with_discount] (as of [price_update_date] - Details) [ad_1] Buslink CipherShield USB 3.0/eSATA 256-bit Encrypted Hard Drive Series prevents unauthorized access to your digital data. CipherShield design features a chip embedded in the access key which matches the AES encryption module on the controller board. The drive will automatically lock down its content once the key is unplugged, or power is shut off. And without the access key, data will not be seen or accessed in the event of theft or loss of the external drive. Data stored on the hard drive are safeguarded by hardware-based National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) certified industrial strength AES (Advanced Encryption standard) cryptographic engine. The advantage of hardware encryption over software encryption is that you need not be concerned about Trojans/viruses or software upgrades, which results in a decrease of total cost of ownership. Since CipherShield encrypts data independent of the operating system; removing the drive and connecting it directly to the SATA BUS will not defeat the encryption. Unit is bundled with two keys and registration is required for key duplication. System Requirement: Microsoft Windows 10, 8, 7, Vista, Server 2016, 2012, 2008, 2003 (XP and 2000 Server not supported for larger than 2TB), Mac OS X 10.4 or later with Intel Processor, Linux with GPT support.
