    There was a time when computers and servers didn’t have a place in our society, all information had been presented in a hard-copy and had to be kept in filing cabinets. Since there was no internet, there was little or no flow of information. Information either had to be extracted from book, journals or magazines, and for that you had to go to your local library. Today, the online library has virtually replaced the brick and mortar library and there’s nearly limitless information found on the web, one can simply conduct a google search and find relevant information to particular subject matter. However, this has also given rise to cyber-crime, allowing criminals from thousands of miles away to steal or corrupt files across international borders. Although the internet a place of nearly limitless information, it is largely unregulated, things like phishing, email scams, WIFI hacking and digital espionage are growing. Accordingly, since the internet is unregulated, every person is responsible for safeguarding their own data. With the use of computers, everything we do is one way or another related to computers. For example, if you need to make a financial statement, you would need to use a spreadsheet software or some accounting software to show the progression or decline of a particular area. Similarly, if you needed to send mail, you would rather opt for email than snail mail, as email is considered far more reliable and quicker. Consequently, it’s no surprise that computers have become an indispensable part of our lives – one in which it is no longer plausible to imagine a life without. Today, all our information is available on computers servers. From our identity cards to our passports and other sensitive details which we would normally keep secure in a safe. However, often is the case when such information is not secure on our computers. Aside from the windows lock, many people don’t use additional forms of data security to safeguard their information. Consequently, other users on the computer may be able to be able to view sensitive information on your PC. Why is that important? Well, say for example you have some work related documents which are aren’t protected with a file hider software. Someone, for example a rogue co-worker may go into your PC and access those files. That person can virtually do anything with those files, LockFolder sell them to a competitor, delete them or modify them to sabotage your career. Another threat can come in the form of lost or stolen laptop. Say for example you have some important files which aren’t secured on your computer, these files then become a liability for you, as criminals often explore stolen laptops for sensitive information such as images, videos, documents, social security number and the like. Therefore, it is imperative that such information should be secured. A data security software can keep your File locking, data secure, file secure and video secure, ensuring protection through encryption software which uses AES-256-bit Encryption.

    Software libero o commerciale?

    Una scelta
    Quando si predispone un laboratorio di informatica scolastico occorre pensare
    non solo alla scelta dellhardware ma anche a quella del software.
    Secondo la nuova legge sul diritto d'autore (Legge n.248/2000), la duplicazione abusiva di sw,
    al fine di trarne profitto punibile con la reclusione da 6 mesi a 3 anni e con la multa da 5 a 30
    milioni.
    Non quindi possibile possedere ( a meno che non sia scritto sulla licenza duso) una sola copia del
    software e utilizzarla su pi computer, ma occorre essere in possesso delle licenze per tutti i PC
    della scuola.
    Ma non tutte le licenze sono uguali; prima di effettuare una scelta bene conoscere i principali tipi
    di software:

    Il software commerciale
    distribuito in licenza esclusivamente in formato eseguibile; concesso a pagamento e la licenza
    permette luso di una sola copia del software, spesso su un solo computer; normalmente, le licenze
    commerciali vietano praticamente tutto, tranne luso di una sola copia del software: ad esempio
    vietano di cedere il software a terzi, se non a determinate condizioni (per esempio, alla cessione del
    computer), e di apportare cambiamenti al software.
    Software commerciali sono ad esempio i prodotti Microsoft (Windows, Office)

    Il software shareware
    distribuito gratuitamente in versione valutazione per un certo periodo di tempo: lutente
    autorizzato ad effettuare qualsiasi numero di copie e a distribuire a terzi le copie stesse. Terminato il
    periodo di prova se si vuole continuare ad usare tale sw, occorre registrarlo e acquistarlo. Dopo la
    registrazione, il software concesso a condizioni di licenza analoghe a quelle previste dalle licenze
    commerciali e quindi sar vietato produrne ulteriori copie.
    Se non si effettua la registrazione e lo si continua ad utilizzare si viola la licenza. A volte, al termine
    del periodo di valutazione, il programma continua a funzionare, ma ricorda continuamente che
    occorre registrarsi, a volte perde alcune funzionalit, altre volte non funziona pi.

    Il software freeware
    Tale software ha una licenza che permette luso gratuito e la copia, senza limiti, per uso personale,
    ma non permette la modifica. A volte permessa la distribuzione a terzi delle copie, a volte invece
    vietata o sottoposta a una qualche condizione (per esempio, lesplicita autorizzazione dellautore
    del software o il fatto che la distribuzione avvenga senza fini di lucro).
    Le licenze freeware, in sostanza, sono del tutto simili alle licenze commerciali, con lunica
    differenza, di fatto certo non trascurabile, che non richiedono alcun corrispettivo in denaro per luso
    del programma.

    Il software libero (Free Software)


    Il Free Software, che non va confuso col software freeware, prima di tutto libero, in quanto
    accessibile a tutti, anche in forma di codice sorgente, e perch concede agli utenti numerose e
    importanti libert.
    Questo tipo di software distribuito con licenze diverse da quelle viste sopra. Le licenze Free
    Software infatti concedono il diritto di utilizzare, copiare e distribuire il software, concedono anche
    il diritto di studiare il funzionamento del programma di modificarlo e di distribuire ad altri le copie
    modificate.
    Esistono innumerevoli programmi Free Software: ad esempio il sistema operativo GNU/Linux
    interamente composto da programmi di tal genere; lapplicativo Open office che lequivalente
    freeware di Microsoft Office.

    LUTILIZZO DI SOFTWARE IN UN LABORATORIO SCOLASTICO RICHIEDE QUINDI IL


    POSSESSO DI LICENZE MULTIPLE; se il sw scelto commerciale i costi per lacquisto delle
    licenze sono particolarmente elevati, ma come abbiamo visto la scelta potrebbe essere diversa e
    orientata allutilizzo di programmi free come ad esempio il software gratuito Open Office, che si
    pone in diretta concorrenza con la suite Office di Microsoft: comprende una videoscrittura, un
    foglio di calcolo, un programma per presentazioni, un editor di pagine html, un programma per
    creare immagini vettoriali e gestire oggetti grafici; compatibile coi formati di file di MS Office;
    multipiattaforma, e quindi gira su sistemi operativi MS Windows, Linux, Unix, Sun Solaris.
