### Storage & Data
 
Moving away from [[iCloud]] and using a combination of [[SecureSafe]], [[Sync]] and self hosted solutions like my [[Server Cloud|own cloud]] enables to secure data in transit and in storage.
 
---
 
### Communication
 
#### Mail
Securing [[Email & Communication|emails]] take two main forms:
1. Encryption modules for generically available mailboxes (i.e. GPG protocol)
2. Dedicated services embedding encryption and privacy policies such as [[Tutanota]]
In addition, to protect mailboxes online, a email alias provider can be used. [SimpleLogin](https://simplelogin.io), a French tech, allows this easily and gives the option to [[Server Alias|self host]] which is implemented.
 
#### IM Apps
[[Element]] is a peer-to-peer application enabling encryption and bridging other communication apps & protocols.
Other IM services based on Blockchain are currently emerging but are not mature enough to be used widely.
 
#### Phone number
```ad-info
[Crypton](https://crypton.sh/)

### Internet
 
This section provides an overview on the management of various security features of the Internet: threats & viruses, ads/tracker, password management and 2F authentication.
 
#### AntiVirus
Two different ways to identify viruses:
1. [Intego](https://www.intego.com/) for Mac (and iOS)
2. [iVerify](https://apps.apple.com/us/app/iverify-secure-your-phone/id1466120520) for residual scans
 
#### Ad/Tracker Block
Using a DNS resolver embedding filters for blocking known ad/tracker traffic: [NextDNS](https://nextdns.io/)
 
#### Password Manager
Free and Open Source Software (FOSS): [BitWarden](https://bitwarden.com/)
For added security, I am self hosting an instance of a [[Server Tools#Password manager|password manager]], an unofficial image of Bitwarden.
 
#### TOTP Manager
FOSS: [Authy](https://authy.com/)
 
#### Internet threats
Scan for signs of past [[Threats and Intrusions]].
