In the past years, car insurance rates have continued to rise across the country. The increased price of vehicles and the increased number of claims are just a few of the reasons for this continuous rise in insurance prices. Unfortunately, insurance rates aren’t likely to come down in price anytime soon. However, there are a few things policyholders can do to minimize the effect of the increased premiums on their wallets.

Drivers looking to save money on car insurance should consider following the next tips:

• 
  Add multiple cars and drivers to the policy. Drivers who obtain a quote from an insurance company to insure a single car will end up getting a higher quote per vehicle than if they inquired about insuring several drivers or vehicles with that provider. In some circumstances, insurance providers are willing to give a better deal to policyholders that are bringing more business to them. Also, insurance companies can provide a discount to those policyholders that maintain other policies at them, such as homeowners insurance.
• Be a safe driver. A clean driving record with zero at-fault accidents and tickets can help drivers save money. Most providers offer a discount that can range from 10 to 25% to those policyholders that managed to stay safe on the roads for a number of years.
• Get a car that is cheap to insure. Insuring a huge SUV can be more expensive than insuring a small, but safe lower-cost commuter car. Also, some insurers will offer a discount for buying a hybrid, an alternative fuel vehicle, or a fully electric vehicle.
• Increase the deductible. The deductible is the amount of money policyholders have to pay before the insurance kicks in. Depending on the policy, deductibles typically range from $250 to $1,000. By increasing their deductibles, policyholders can pay lower premiums.
• Improve the credit score. In many states where is allowed, the insurance companies use the credit score to determine insurance premiums. Insurance providers claim that their studies show that if a driver is responsible in his personal life, then that driver is less likely to file claims.
• Install anti-theft devices. Policyholders can lower their annual premiums if they install anti-theft devices. For that to happen, policyholders will need to contact their insurance providers and ask them for what installed anti-theft devices they offer discounts. Car alarms and LoJacks are just a few of the devices that are eligible for a discount.
• Apply for usage-based insurance. Usage-based insurance policies are perfect for safe drivers who don’t use their cars that often. Typically, the insurance provider will install a telematics device in the vehicle to track how much, how well, and when the policyholder drives. Based on these factors, the policyholder might be eligible for a discount.
• Shop around. It makes sense to get quotes at least once per year from other companies, to check if lower rates are available. When getting quotes, drivers should ensure they compare the same policies and options.

Everyone wants to pay lower car insurance premiums. However, in recent years, the insurance costs have been on the rise and the tendency is expected to continue throughout the entire 2020

To lower the costs of car insurance, drivers should follow the next tips:

• 
  Drivers should consider increasing deductibles. To obtain cheaper car insurance, drivers can agree to pay more money from their budget If they have to make a claim. Policyholders should put away the money necessary for filing a claim.
• Consider driving fewer miles. If a policyholder doesn’t drive his car too often, he might be eligible for a low mileage discount that typically ranges from 15% to 20%.
• Bundle multiple policies. Policyholders can easily bundle their car insurance with their homeowner’s insurance. In some cases, a policyholder can save as much as 20% simply by bundling multiple policies into one.
• Install safety devices. Many insurance companies offer generous discounts for drivers that make their cars safer. Safety devices like a rearview camera, GPS tracking system, immobilizers, airbags, blind spot detectors, various anti-theft devices will make the car safer. The value of the discounts varies depending on the type of device installed.
• Be a good driver. A driver with no traffic tickets and no accidents for a number of years is eligible for a safe driver discount. Most insurance companies will lower premium rates after three years of clean driving, while other insurers will wait even five years to provide this discount. Usually, this discount will lower insurance rates by 10%-20%.
• Consider usage-based programs. Many insurance companies offer this type of programs. Usually, a small telematics device is installed inside the driver’s vehicle. This device will send driving habits data back to the insurer. Drivers with good driving habits are rewarded with large discounts

Caring for your home throughout the year has many benefits, including improving the chance it will survive a wildfire.

LOS ANGELES (PRWEB)
July 23, 2020

When wildfire season hits, there’s no such thing as being too prepared. The first step Californians can take to survive a devastating wildfire season is to look past the myths that spread fear amongst homeowners.

One prevailing myth is that fire protection costs a lot of money – but it doesn’t have to. Resilience in fire country is dependent upon maintenance, not necessarily materials.

“Caring for your home throughout the year has many benefits, including improving the chance it will survive a wildfire,” said Kelly Glover, director of personal property underwriting at Mercury Insurance. “Develop a plan to tackle a small number of tasks each month, as this will make the list very manageable.”

Some easy-to-tackle tasks that can help reduce a property’s chance of ignition include:

•     Making sure your address is visible from the street
•     Cleaning your roof and gutters
•     Not letting your plants dry out

Wildfire land management expert Douglas Kent, author of Firescaping: Protecting Your Home with a Fire-Resistant Landscape, addresses this and some of the other most common myths in fire country.

Car insurance rates are determined after analyzing multiple factors, including car model, driving history, and ZIP code. While some factors, like state legislation, are beyond driver’s control, other rating factors can be modified and bring the costs down. Find out how to get better premiums:

• Use online car insurance quotes. Brokerage websites are recommended to complete car quotes. Make sure you complete the same information on all the questionnaires. After you received at least three car quotes, start analyzing them in order to find the most advantageous deal. Also check all available discounts offered by each insurer.
• Purchase higher deductibles. Deductibles are the money paid by the policyholder before the insurance policy kicks in. By raising deductibles, the policyholder will lower his premium rates.
• Keep a clean driving record. A driver with no traffic tickets and no accidents for a number of years, is eligible for a safe driver discount. Most insurance companies will lower premium rates after three years of clean driving, while other insurers will wait even five years to provide this discount. Usually, this discount will lower insurance rates by 10%-20%.
• Carefully select the car model. Factors like the likelihood of theft, costs to repair and safety record, determine the price of the insurance rates. Safety and anti-theft devices also play a significant role in determining the premium of a vehicle
• Keep a good credit score. Insurance companies calculate rates based on how good or bad is a person’s credit score. Drivers with bad credit scores will pay higher insurance rates. Improve credit score by using balance transfer credit cards of short term loans with a credit union.
• consider dropping full coverage. If the car is worth less than ten times the premium, having full coverage may not be cost effective. Auto dealers and banks can tell you how much your car is worth it.
• Pay annually. Drivers can save even 10 percent form theirs premium, by choosing to pay the whole insurance once. In that way, they will no longer pay monthly administrative fees.

We are excited to help provide the hands-on education that is needed to build the next generation of cyber professionals and fill the cyber skills gap, and ultimately defend our society in cyberspace.

FULTON, Md. (PRWEB)
July 23, 2020

ReFirm Labs, a provider of the industry’s first proactive IoT and firmware security solutions, today launched the IoT Cybersecurity Education Program with the mission to advance cyber education around IoT devices while helping tackle the national security problem of emerging IoT threats.

By providing free access to its Centrifuge automated firmware analysis platform, ReFirm Labs will put the latest technology into the hands of students and researchers at the nation’s top universities to help them explore IoT device security, learn how to build secure products, and conduct their own research.

As 5G communications take off, billions of devices will be connected to networks and critical infrastructure. This presents a major attack surface that has historically been vulnerable. In March the US Cyberspace Solarium Commission’s report highlighted the threat to the nation from cyber attacks and provided recommendations, including improvements to cybersecurity education in order to address the cyber workforce gap of over half a million private and public sector jobs.

“Recently we have seen more universities incorporating firmware analysis and reverse engineering into their curriculum, to teach product security assessment techniques or to just educate students about the risks of network connected devices. We have also seen more students conducting and publishing their own vulnerability research,” said Derick Naef, CEO of ReFirm Labs. “We are excited to help provide the hands-on education that is needed to build the next generation of cyber professionals and fill the cyber skills gap, and ultimately defend our society in cyberspace.”

In the first phase of the program, ReFirm Labs will partner with 10 higher education institutions to provide access to the Centrifuge Platform. ReFirm will also create and foster a community to promote collaboration and sharing of curriculum, labs, and research ideas. Because Centrifuge is a cloud-based platform and requires no agents on the network or SDK implementation on the device, students and researchers can access it remotely for classes that have moved online.

One early adopter of Centrifuge in the classroom, Dr. TJ O’Connor, Program Chair Cybersecurity for Computer Engineering and Sciences at Florida Tech, said, “We used Centrifuge in an undergraduate class this spring, and it really opened the students’ view of the abundance and severity of vulnerabilities in current firmware for a wide range of IoT devices. With the Centrifuge Code Analysis, students were able to uncover binaries with unsafe function calls and lacked memory protection. Further, with the Centrifuge Software BOM reports, our students uncovered current firmwares using legacy software components with known vulnerabilities. The ease of the platform provided students an opportunity to quickly dissect and discover the insecurity of several firmware samples.”

Texas A&M will also adopt Centrifuge for undergraduate education, as well as to support research evaluating the cybersecurity of next generation equipment at the Internet2 Technology Evaluation Center (ITEC). Dr. Walt Magnussen, Director of ITEC, said, “We work with more than 340 leading research universities in the nation to support the deployment of advanced communication and collaboration services such as Next Generation 9-1-1, Public Safety Voice Services and Public Safety Information Sharing. Information Assurance has to be a primary consideration in all of these areas. Providing access to IoT security tools such as Centrifuge supports our mission to collaborate with industry and make leading-edge technology accessible to graduate and undergraduate students.”

ReFirm Labs is focused on building solutions to evaluate the security of IoT and embedded systems and is the creator of the binwalk open source tool, which is used by security researchers worldwide as a starting point in studying vulnerabilities in IoT devices.

How to Participate in the IoT Cybersecurity Education Program

Participation is open to higher education institutions with a cybersecurity curriculum that involves firmware analysis, penetration testing, reverse engineering, or building secure devices. Interested parties can reach out to ReFirm Labs by visiting the IoT Cybersecurity Education Program website: https://www.refirmlabs.com/education

About ReFirm Labs

ReFirm Labs provides the industry’s first IoT and firmware security solutions that proactively vet, validate and continuously monitor IoT devices from hidden threats. Its flagship product, Centrifuge Platform®, detects and reports potential zero-day vulnerabilities, hidden crypto keys, backdoor passwords and known vulnerabilities in IoT devices without needing access to source code. ReFirm Labs’ technology has been proven to provide the insight and intelligence needed for users to proactively defend connected devices and maintain compliance and the integrity of supply chain security. Founded by a team of former NSA offensive cyber operators, ReFirm Labs is trusted by government agencies and Fortune 500 companies that operate in a wide variety of industries, including: telecommunications, cloud infrastructure and data centers, automotive, health care, utilities, and manufacturing.
