Is Your Data Safe?

For many, Key data sits on your computer and is potentially exposed to anyone who may have access to your computer. That includes outsiders who may have access to your computer over the Internet without your knowledge.

Is your computer secure? When your computer starts up does it prompt you for a password or a login? That should be your primary tool to prevent unwanted access to your computer. Without this prompt, whatever is stored on your computer is vulnerable and in some cases may even make you liable if information is taken from your computer and used illegally.
