Not having cyber security policy in place in today’s business world is insanity on par with planning a moon walk without a space suit.
Hackers Are Stealing From You
And the government is spying. Disconnect (the app) to protect yourself.
Disconnectere.com – Browse The Web Privately
Disconnect is a browser extension that you can install and use at just no cost, and that will let you surf the Web in a private way. By procuring this extension, you will be able to keep third parties and search engines for seeing the sites that you are visiting, and the searches that you are carrying out.
This is interesting, but a note of caution: many times, barring a site from accessing that information is against your best interests. For example, if you keep a site from knowing your IP then the site will fail to pinpoint your exact location. That can render many sites but unusable. More than often, turning the anonymous navigation mode of the browser on is going to do the job instead.
Still, if you want to try Disconnect all you need to know right now is that it is currently available both for Chrome and for RockMelt, the recently-launched social browser that is seeing its fair share of extensions as of late. And versions for Firefox and Safari are under development as of the time of writing this.
