As of this date, McAfee Secure has produced thousands of PCI scans for its customers. Many web sites depend on McAfee Secure daily vulnerability assessments for protection from hackers and third-party certification of their security. They update the knowledge base every 15 minutes with tests for newly discovered problems and validated fixes from hundreds of sources worldwide. With the continuous updates and the between-scan proactive alerts, McAfee Secure ensures their customers are always alerted to these vulnerabilities.

One of the main concerns that customers of McAfee and other security providers have is the issue of identity theft. According to the Better Business Bureau, identity theft occurs, . . . “when someone uses your name, Social Security number, credit card number or some other piece of your personal information to apply for a credit card, make unauthorized purchases, gain access to your bank accounts of obtain loans under your name.”

Victims of identity theft don’t normally know they’ve been victimized until they are contacted by an agency over past due accounts they never knew they had. Also if substantial charges show up on a credit card bill for purchases they never made. Another event that could happen that the victim would not know about is when they are contacted by the police after a crime is committed in their name. Now you might not think these things would happen, and they certainly would never happen to you, but think again. It is very real and does happen to normal, careful, ordinary people. It has been said that we learn best by experience. Hopefully, we can take advantage of someone else’s bad experiences and learn from them, instead of paying the awful price ourselves.

This is where McAfee Secure and other such providers can be a life-saver for you and your business. However, it is always vital to learn as much as you can about these monsters that can harm us and our businesses. Knowledge is power and the more of it we have , the safer we will feel.
