A few hours in the life of a busy, productive family protected by Total Digital Security.
Scenario based on actual client experiences.
It’s almost 7 pm on a Tuesday and Dave is on his way to meet clients for dinner at his favorite restaurant downtown. His wife, Sarah, has her weekly yoga class and will be home late too. Their daughter, Kate, is at home planning for her first trip abroad this summer and their son, Tyler, is off at school starting his freshman year. It's another busy day in a busy week for this family of four, and while Dave is thinking about his kids and the adventures they face, he's glad the family uses modern, mobile technology to stay connected, close, and always in touch.
In a moment of contemplation, it occurs to Dave that in spite of Kate and Tyler moving into adulthood and that at times great distances will be between each family member, still they will be sharing experiences in ways not possible even just a generation ago. The family has always been close, and the kids grew up in the age of emerging mobile technology, so texts, emails, photos, videos and the rest has become part of their everyday routine. While at times, between work, family and their lives individually, the flow of information can seem overwhelming, Dave thinks about the alternative and knows he and Sarah wouldn't have it any other way.
As Dave nears the restaurant, he shifts his thoughts to the upcoming meeting and what he hopes to accomplish over dinner. Then, at a red light, Dave notices a text from Tyler asking for a credit card number to pay for school books online. Moments later when pulling up to the restaurant and handing the keys to the valet, Dave gets another text. It's from Kate, and she’s asking for copies of her birth certificate and passport to send to the embassy for her travel visa this summer. Dave knows both kids are anxious to get the information they requested and he's a few minutes early so feels good that he will be able to help them before his clients arrive.
Once inside the restaurant the maitre'd sees Dave and leads him toward his regular table. He gets right to it and uses his smartphone to send the kids the information and documents they need. With a sigh of relief and satisfaction, he knows that they appreciate him always being responsive and there for them. Additionally, he knows the sensitive information they are trading is safe and secure from hackers, thieves, and aggressive marketing companies, and that family, members won't be tracked, sniffed, snooped or spied on by anyone, malicious or otherwise. Dave and Sarah are smart, in control of their digital information, and well positioned to leverage fully the magic of technology for all it's worth, and they have the satisfaction gained from creating a system for their family that will keep their family cyber-safe for many, many years to come.
Looking up, Dave sees his clients and after the handshakes and greetings, they right away ask if he can get a copy of last year's contract. They have an idea they want to discuss over dinner but need to recall some details. Dave texts his assistant, who's at home by now and tells her he needs the contract sent from her laptop, ASAP. As soon as he hangs up with his assistant, Dave sees a text from Sarah. Kate’s doctor had called and he is sending Sarah the medical reports she had requested for Kate’s visa. It reminded her to ask Dave to send the final travel itinerary for Kate's trip abroad so she could add it to the family calendar.
Does the activity with this family sound familiar? For many around the world, this is not far-fetched at all, and we use the scenario to illustrate the application of cyber security to everyday, mainstream life that we lead as individuals, family members, and professionals. With Total Digital Security’s services, the family in this hypothetical example will communicate and operate simply and seamlessly, but with an exceptionally high level of privacy, security and physical safety.
