Question

Some private information is being stored on the computer, which can leave it vulnerable. Should the burden be upon the vendor to provide more security features at OS level, or should we as user distribute personal information onto other secure platforms?

Answer 1

At operating system level your data is completely at risk of data loss anytime. your data may be destroyed due to failure of hard disk. Or it can be hacked by your friend by accessing the system.

If vendor provides security options at os level then also there is chance of data being hacked by known people because they know Which computer you use. One more important think is that no body can protect your data when your hard disk fails unless you pay a huge amount to disk recovery team. So it is not a good approach to keep sensible data at operating system.

Now come to other Security platforms. In my mind the first approach hits is upload your sensible data to clouds. I will tell you why? The main benefit of data storing at platforms who provides cloud storage services is your known people won't be able to know Which cloud service you use.

Moreover cloud services provides additional security to secure your data. Even you can set One time password system to access your data. Until you provide correct OTP , it won't allow you to access data.

One more advantage is that you can access your data from anywhere, the only requirement is one smart phone with Internet connection and tada you rock. There is no chance of data loss due to hard disk failure because data is not stored locally.
