The type of situational security awareness that once seemed to be the exclusive domain of the paranoid has become depressingly mainstream. Hackers, phishers and various bad actors threaten your email, financial information and even online reputation, through a wide palette of blackhat tools.
Besides malware and tricky lookalike emails from faux banks and social network imposters, it’s also important to be on guard against visual hacking. That’s the simple act of physically looking over at someone’s laptop while they have sensitive information up on the screen. It can happen anywhere, from coffee shops to airplanes to open offices, and it’s one of the reasons people sometimes lug clunky polarized privacy screens around with them.
A clever integrated solution to the visual hacking problem is the main selling point of this HP EliteBook x360 1020 G2, a sharp-looking 12-inch business 2-in-1 laptop that borrows from both HP’s excellent Spectre x360 line and ultraportable products like Apple’s 12-inch MacBook.
