Android app verifications

2019-10-07T23:10:34-07:00

Android tablets are one of the more popular mobile devices because of the large variety of apps available to users. Unfortunately, as of 2019, there are reportedly over 2,000 fake apps on Google Play Store. These apps impersonate popular apps to trick users to install it. Once installed, these apps usually steal personal data or infect tablets with malware.

So, how can people protect themselves and make sure that their tablet is running only safe applications?

Downloading from a trusted source

Downloading an app from well-known and legitimate sources like Google Play Store, Samsung, or Amazon used to be a good security measure since these sites are routinely monitored and scanned for fraudulent apps. But reports of fake apps plaguing these sites have led users to reevaluate their downloading habits. Recently, Android fans were warned about six malware-filled apps on Google Play Store that have been downloaded 90 million times. One of those apps is “Followkade,” a fake Instagram likes-and-followers-boosting app, which had over 50,000 installs and a 4.0 rating […]

Virtualization management: 3 Areas to look into

2019-10-02T08:00:29-07:00

Knowing about the perks of virtualization is cool, but setting this up and implementing it properly will require you to tackle a few things. Handle these three items well to enjoy nothing but virtualization benefits.

Backup

Incorporating a robust backup system in a virtualized setting can become a huge challenge. You’d have to determine which data you want to store and how often it should be backed up. You would then have to decide whether you should back up all your virtual machines or just some vital ones that have important apps and data.

In any case, you’ll be caught in a grueling battle because of the overwhelming amount of data that needs to be backed up. The only way to overcome this is to integrate a powerful backup-to-disk solution offered by a reputable managed IT services provider (MSP).

Security

Security concerns are more complicated in a virtualized setting since you have to monitor security on two tiers, namely virtual machine security and physical host security.

Compromised physical host security will affect every virtual […]

macOS Catalina’s October 2019 rollout is only a few days away, and many can’t wait to see what the new and improved operating system has in store. Here are some of the features to look out for in Catalina.

Before you download macOS Catalina, make sure your device meets the system requirements. Apple has said that Macs and MacBooks that could upgrade to macOS Mojave can be updated to Catalina, including:

  • 12-inch MacBook (2015 and later)

Tips to keep your work computers clean

2019-10-07T23:09:31-07:00

Leaving work PCs, tablets, and similar machines to accumulate dirt can lead to distractions, glitches, and worse, hardware failure. To avoid these situations, you must properly care for your employees’ work computers. Here are a few tips to keep them clean.

Cleaning desktop monitors

Employees spend many hours looking at their computer monitors, and a clean monitor makes it easier for them to do their tasks. The best way to clean your monitor is to turn it off first and gently wipe the screen with a microfiber cloth.

If there are still spots, try dipping the cloth in a tiny bit of water — make sure you don’t spray water onto the screen. Don’t press too hard on the screen, as this could damage your monitor’s pixels. Also, it is not a good idea to use paper products like paper towels or tissues, as they will not only leave a residue, but may also slightly scratch the monitor.

Cleaning mobile screens

Mobile and other touch screen devices will usually get your fingerprints […]

VoIP on-the-go

2019-10-07T23:09:14-07:00

Businesses can benefit a lot from implementing a VoIP solution. However, without proper management and IT support for VoIP, you may see a negative impact on your productivity. You’ll experience limited communication from both customers and employees, especially when it comes to mobile or remote workers. The challenge is how you can expand your VoIP capabilities to become effective on-the-go.

To cater to your out-of-office workers, there are a variety of ways you can expand the mobility of your VoIP services.

1. Look into Unified Communications (UC)

If your employees are able to bring their own personal devices to work, your IT administrators will insist that all of them comply with your company’s policies. You will need to establish good security and compliance measures in order to meet the needs of both your customers and employees.

A solid solution is to look into UC, which integrates real-time communication services such as instant messaging, telephony, data sharing, and video conferencing. UC bridges the gap between VoIP and other computer-related communication technologies. It […]

Get more engagement — use Google Analytics

2019-09-26T08:00:06-07:00

Having a Google Analytics account is a no-brainer if you want to track your business’s website traffic. But how do you know if those visitors are engaged with your website content or just bouncing the second they hit your homepage? A key metric is engagement, which is as important as traffic. Here’s how to track website engagement.

How do you measure engagement?

Just because a page receives a large amount of traffic doesn’t mean it has quality content. Half of the visitors to your most trafficked blog post or service page can easily bounce within seconds. Find out which pages your customers like by measuring engagement. And the easiest way to do that is by looking at the amount of time a visitor spends on a page.

Generally speaking, if a visitor is on a page for five minutes or more, they’re likely reading, watching, or listening to some form of content you posted. Of course, it’s also possible that they took a bathroom break after landing on your page or […]
