The Financial Planner & How To Properly Handle Your Personal Information

For many of those whom have followed my past blog posts, then majority of them know of my entrepreneurial idea to start a financial planner of sorts. A very important part of making that happen is implementing vital personal information, such as passwords, email addresses, account numbers and maybe even valuable information about debit or credit cards. With all this information necessary for you to track your money and pay back bills and other monetary concerns in a timely manner, the protection of this information is very important to the safety of the user(s) of the product. What i'll be explaining to you guys today in this blog is exactly how major of a part that computer forensics & operating systems plays in the safety & running of the financial planner.

By nature, a good amount of personal information has to be put into the financial planner, so that it may be effective.And the last thing that we would want to do is to risk identity theft or have someone retrieve information that we would not want them seeing. Professor Rubin explains to us that in today's "tech-savvy" world, this is too often the case, where criminals are easily accessing and taking advantage of personal information at another person's expense. However, there are several ways as to how you can prevent someone from taking advantage of you. Some of these include putting a password on your financial planner, not providing vital personal information without a just cause, checking your bills to look for irregularities in charges and most importantly destroying all your important files and documents after you no longer have a need for them. If someone was to use the financial planner but neglect to protect themselves from criminals, then their identity could be stolen, credit could be ruined, money could be stolen, not to mention risking physical danger.

Multitasking, is an essential part of the basic functioning of a product such as the financial planner, and this is where the importance of having a good operating system comes in. Without a decent operating system, many of your usual everyday products, such as ipad's and itouch's wouldn't work.  It is necessary for a product that is going to be handling a vast array of things such as handling several bills at once and processing the management of money to be equipped with a system that can do it efficiently. Professor Rubin related directly back to this when he detailed for us the difference between types of multitasking, types of operating systems and most importantly which system is most fit for what you are trying to do.
