TIPS & TRICKS: Browser and Other Security Tests

With all the recent 0-day exploits and other vulnerabilities making news, I thought it would be helpful to have some resources to test out your environment.

First, browser security checks:

• https://browsercheck.qualys.com

Next, router and computer security checks:

•  Use ShieldsUP! and the Instant UPnP Exposure Test at this site: https://www.grc.com/

As always, security is like an onion. A well secured computing environment will have lots of layers. These tools are another layer of protection.
