In today’s post, I’d like to present a few of my suggestions for holiday gifts, each related to digital security.
1. Hardware-encrypted USB Drive:
In the era of the cloud, hardware-encrypted USB drives are equipped with a built-in hardware encryption module. Data stored on this device is encrypted at the hardware level, providing additional security. Even if lost, the data cannot be accessed without the correct code.
2. RFID-blocking wallet
Designed to protect RFID cards from unauthorized scanning, RFID-blocking wallets have special inserts or layers made of materials that block radio signals, preventing direct reading of RFID cards by scanners through the wallet.
3. USB Data Blocker
A dongle that blocks data transmission through a USB cable. Useful when unsure if a USB port is used only for charging, especially in public or untrusted environments to prevent potential BadUSB attacks.
4. Commercial password manager license
Gifting a Bitwarden license can be an excellent present, especially for someone interested in digital security and password management. A password manager provides a secure space for storing passwords, eliminating the need for easily guessable or forgettable passwords.
5. YubiKey
YubiKey is a type of physical security key serving as a two-factor authentication device, adding an extra layer of security even in the event of a password leak. It’s a small USB or NFC device used to verify a user’s identity with an additional element beyond the traditional password.
6. Cybersecurity-themed t-Shirt
A cyber security-themed shirt could be a great gadget for individuals working in or beginning their journey in cybersecurity.
7. Cybersecurity course
Consider gifting a cybersecurity course to someone who uses a computer or smartphone but may not be aware of potential threats. It can also be beneficial for those interested in advancing their cybersecurity skills.
These gifts aim to enhance digital security awareness and practices, making them thoughtful choices for individuals interested in protecting their online presence.
