Browser security test

PRAGUE, Czech Republic, November 26, 2012 – avast! Internet Security provided 100% protection against banking malware when independent firm MRG Effitas tested more than 30 security software products. The test was a follow up to the firm’s initial research for the BBC news program Click Online Banking Test, which aired in February.The MRG Effitas test focused on “dedicated browser security or anti-logging products,” in addition to security suites that claim to offer secure online banking. From over 30 apps tested, only eight software applications passed the test, and several dedicated endpoint financial-fraud prevention and anti-keylogging apps showed surprisingly poor performance.“Avast was one of only two anti-malware and internet security applications to get a perfect score in our latest test,” said Sveta Miladinov, MRG Effitas Founder and CEO. “We used three in-house-made Financial Malware simulators which were not able to bypass its SafeZone feature.” Unique to avast! Internet Security, the secure-banking browser SafeZone™ creates a private and isolated virtual window on your desktop for ensuring secure financial transactions when shopping or banking online. The secure browser window auto-prompts avast! Internet Security users whenever it would be more secure to use it, and it opens easily from their normal browser.MRG Effitas conducted research of avast! Internet Security with the same financial simulator model used in a February 2012 special BBC broadcast on the burgeoning threat of malware in the financial sector. The program covered as well the ineffectiveness of many well-known security suites against it. Testing protocols were independently verified by S21Sec, another independent firm.See the full published test here:

There are two ways of adding extra layers of security to your online exams in Moodle - using the Safe Exam Browser ("SEB") or using Moodle's built-in test security features. We'll cover Safe Exam Browser here.Some important considerations for using SEB Students don’t download the browser to their own devices – they MUST login to Remote Desktop to take Moodle exams that use SEB. This is the process in on-site labs too. We VERY STRONGLY advise that instructors create a practice test and have their students go through the process well ahead of the actual exam, so they can discover any issues and give the students a trial run. We VERY STRONGLY advise that, on the day of the test, the test lab is booked for at least 15 minutes before the exam start, and students are advised to arrive early. They need to authenticate into Remote Desktop, again into Moodle, and one more time into SEB, and this can take time. If possible, we advise that a second instructor/assistant is on hand to help students navigate the process of logging in to SEB on the day of the test. Note that students will need their cellphones at their desks right up to the moment when they open SEB, as they will need to use their authenticator app to login – if instructors are in the habit of asking for cellphones to be handed in during an exam, then the timing of this is important.What is Safe Exam Browser?Safe Exam Browser (SEB) is a lockdown browser that allows instructors to restrict student access to additional displays, external websites, system functions or other applications while they are taking an exam online. SEB supports instructors to deliver more secure online assessments in Moodle by turning the computer into a secured workstation. You
