...2.1 Ways to safeguard the computer from Power outages, surges and other electrical variations: Power surge refers to the time when the electricity flow is interrupted, then started again or when the electricity flowing is sent back into the system by something. It can also be caused by natural hazards such as the strike of a lightning, or heavy snow or ice. This damages a computer in such a way that the computer’s Power Supply Unit will no longer function, and therefore need to be replaced. This can be avoided using one of the following precautions: The easiest way to avoid Power surges is to unplug the computer immediately after working on it. For as Surge protectors are designed to absorb any electric current that goes above a certain voltage,...

...2.1.1 Threats A smartphone user is exposed to various threats when they use their phone. In just the last two quarters of 2012, the number of unique mobile threats grew by 261%. These threats can disrupt the operation of the smartphone, and transmit or modify user data. So applications must guarantee privacy and integrity of the information they handle. In addition, since some apps could themselves be malware, their functionality and activities should be limited (for example, restricting the apps from accessing location information via GPS, blocking access to the user's address book, preventing the transmission of data on the network, sending SMS messages that are billed to the user, etc.). There are three prime targets for attackers: o Data: smartphones are devices for data management, and may contain sensitive data like credit card numbers, authentication information, private information, activity logs (calendar, call logs); o Identity: smartphones are highly customizable, so the device or its contents can easily be associated with a specific person. For example, every mobile device can transmit information related to the owner of the mobile phone contract, and an attacker may want to steal the identity of the owner of a smartphone to commit other offenses; o Availability: attacking a smartphone can limit access to it and deprive the owner of its use. The source of these attacks are the same actors found in the non-mobile computing space: o Professionals, whether commercial...

...2.1 ways to safeguard your computer 1. make sure and demonstrate that electricity levels used in your computer are Mostly created to use 220 volts of alternative current supplied at 60 hertz computer equipment is designed to use 220 volts of AC power supplied at 60 Hertz even though they may differ from standard but sometimes are significant 2. Make sure electrical equipment are in the right position because if not so some device like Surge protectors and UPS devices will not work according to the way it should function and sensitive hardware that needs to be protected will not be protected as the it would not be in a right position 3. avoid overloading circuits Splitting outlets because it lead to high demand which can lead to power failure of can lead to power failure and even fire hazard 4. Replace...
