Security

When we go to websites that use our personal information we expect that they are secure. We also want security on our email so that people cannot send email on our behalf. Facebook has not been secure in the past and using it at Coffee Shops and on the road poses a significant risk.

When we think about the Internet, and especially the social Internet, we have to think about privacy and security. We place tons of information out on the Internet and trust that the security settings we select will protect us. Recently I wrote about using social network sites to sign on to other sites  and many people questioned the security of this and asked me to write about privacy and security.

Denver DataMan uses a system called Drupal for our web development services. We are excited that the new White House website is using Drupal.
