10 Tips for Better Security and Easier Compliance

December 22, 2022/in Mobile Security

During the past couple of weeks, we’ve have been publishing daily tips to help you improve your cybersecurity and ease your path to compliance with frameworks such as SOC 2 and ISO 27001. We thought we’d kick off 2023 by providing all 10 tips in a consolidated list.

Tip #1: Security Awareness Training for All

Both SOC 2 and ISO 27001 require you to deliver security awareness training to your employees. A learning management system (LMS) such as Curricula or Infosec IQ can help you deliver the training and document having done so.

Tip #2: Scan Your Cloud-Based Services for Vulnerabilities

The cloud-based services your company uses can include vulnerabilities that can disrupt or damage your operations, so you need to be able to scan for, identify and resolve any such risks. The leading hyperscalers, or large-scale cloud service providers, offer tools for this important task.

Tip #3: Manage Your Onboarding (and Offboarding)

You want to ensure your onboarding and offboarding processes are consistent, efficient and timely. Such features can improve recruitment and retention. They can also improve framework compliance and security by ensuring everyone knows the rules and the penalties for not following them. A human resource information system (HRIS) such as TriNet can help.

Tip #4: Cover Your Assets

You need to maintain an accurate and complete asset inventory because you can’t manage or secure what you don’t know you have. You also need to manage and secure all mobile devices for framework compliance and better security. Jamf is an example of a popular mobile device management (MDM) solution for Apple devices. And if your users’ devices include Mac laptops, FileVault is built-in disk drive encryption, another layer of protection. Investigate similar solutions and features for all your assets, mobile or not.

Tip #5: Background Checks for All New Hires

SOC 2 and ISO 27001 both require them. Tools such as Checkr make them easier to execute and document.

Tip #6: Check Your Vendors’ Compliance

AWS, Google, and Microsoft are all SOC 2 compliant and ISO 27001 certified. You need to ensure all your other vendors are too, for better security and to meet framework requirements….

Arlo Go 2 Review – Remote or mobile security is getting easier and better

July 17, 2022/in Mobile Security

Arlo has established itself as one of the leading names in DIY security camera setups. With options through its range from 1080p to 4K resolution and a variety of features, there’s little wonder why. The Arlo Go 2 is the second iteration of the mobile security camera and while there’s an improvement, there are a few little concerns too.

The main concern that will potentially deter a lot of potential buyers is the cost. Coming in at $429.00 for a single camera and only one battery, it’s the second most expensive single camera in the Arlo range. If you’re looking at cameras for home use only, look at another model because this one isn’t for you. There are, however, a lot of features built in that work towards justifying that cost as a truly mobile; if somewhat niche solution.

What is it?

This is a camera that is designed to be used primarily outdoors with an IP65 rating and is capable of withstanding -20c to 45c temperatures. It carries a 3,660mAh battery that provides impressive life for the 1080p video capture. It has the capacity to store video locally through an SD Card (optional extra) or store videos in the cloud.

Where this differs from other cameras in the Arlo range is the dual connectivity of Wi-Fi or 4G. This puts the Go 2 in a fairly strong position to be the choice for cameras mounted to a caravan, use on building sites or holiday houses with no permanent internet connection. A significant improvement from the first generation which only had a cellular connection.

It has an 850 nm light as well as LED lighting for visibility and safety if you’re coming into a dark area at night.

When it comes to viewing and communication, the Arlo Go 2 has a very typical range of features. A speaker, siren and microphone on the camera for two-way communication and the ability to ward off unwanted visitors.

Design and setup

One thing that really stands out early on the Go 2 versus some of the other Arlo cameras I’ve previously reviewed is the physical size and weight. It’s heavy enough — 490 grams — that it isn’t practical to have the device magnetically mounted, and in a mobile — ie. Caravan or building site — a scenario that makes it far too easy to…
