6 Top Security Apps For Business Travelers
Smartphone use with the best Apps has no better application than to business travelers.
Travel insurance is there to protect your movements and troublesome issues, and Apps can do the same.
Some of the best Apps offer you security, not just convenience and better efficiency. Here is a look at the top 6 iPhone Apps for business travelers out on the market today.
You might want to JailBreak your iPhone so you can get some of the best Apps around. Don’t always let Apple dictate what you want to put on your phone.
6 Top Security Apps For Business Travelers
- Skydur. This is one of the best VPN (Virtual Private Network) applications out on the market today. They recently released their iPhone version. Keeping your IP discrete, and even your location, might be extremely important while you are online. It costs about $6 a month, will not slow down your connection much, and you can access any information and website on the internet no matter where you are. It can even beat China’s great firewall.
- Skype. Not new, but you just have to have it. It is the best chat and VOIP (Voice Over Internet Protocol) available. What most people don’t realize is, your chat on normal chat tools such as Yahoo or Messenger, can be easily intercepted. Skype has serious encryption and it is very hard for anyone to make any sense of your Skype to Skype calls on the internet. Some government and law enforcement agencies have complained about the use of it.
- Kryptos. Do you want to make sure your phone calls are kept private. This serious application works over 3G, 4G and wifi networks. Kryptos uses military grade 256 bit AES to encrypt voice communications. This is serious stuff. It is highly unlikely anyone will be able to penetrate this secure platform. Both users need to use the program, and you know you are very safe with this program. It costs $5 to maintain your account after 30 days. Not much to pay for what you are getting. The service is VOIP like Skype. So your calls will cost nothing if you are using wireless.
- StealthNet. If you want to share files on the internet without risking your anonymity, then StealthNet is for you. All activity is discrete via the Rshare Network. Keep those prying government and corporate eyes off your files during electronic transit. This young company is ambitious and aggressively improving their technology.
- TOR. After being rejected by Apple, it is back for the iPhone users via Cydia. TOR will not hide your IP, but it will strip away all of your online activities from giving away any information about you when you are online. The “onion-routers” are the access points for this anonymous communication system, used by many journalists around the world. Use it with Skydur to keep your online activities hidden.
- Security Organizer. This application is designed to protect all of your information, passwords and other information secure, just in case you lose your phone, or it is stolen. This means your phone is more than secure from hacking and there is no other option other than to re-install the system and losing your information for good.
Just like good cheap travel insurance, many of these applications are extremely good value for little cost. Get them on your phone now.
