U.S. Navy to Train Future ‘Cyber Warriors’
When it comes to mobile security, it's hard to imagine anybody more mobile, or in need of more security, than the men and women of the U.S. Navy. That is why the Naval Academy now has an all new Center for Cyber Security Studies, and is even considering offering a major in the field. The Center's director, Capt. Steven Simon says that there are virtually no areas where cyber security is not applicable when it comes to the Navy: whether they are sending out a ship, a Marine in the field or flying a plane, cyber communication is a must, meaning security comes on its heels.
The use of personal technology like iPhones and social networking sites within the division is a new concern, which is being met with a quick effort to educate all military personnel. "The best defense is a good offense", and some midshipmen will specialize in computer science and information technology, becoming highly skilled "cyber warriors", to match their real-life skills.
A large majority of us are regularly partaking in a fast-evolving cyber world, and we all need the skills and know-how to navigate it safely. The Navy is taking important steps to protect its sensitive data, and with technology that can wipe out a hard drive the second it gets lost, they are a step closer to being secure. Why not get yourself the same smart security, and get Notebak -- first recover and then wipe out any sensitive data as soon as you realize your laptop is missing: we use military-grade technology to ensure no restoration will be possible, whether you're a Navy Seal or an entrepreneur. And hey, if destroying your hard drive isn't something you're into, we also offer some really smart technology to help you recover your laptop, unscathed. Now that's smart.
