This book addresses the long-neglected security needs of users in the home, company workstation and SOHO (Small Office/Home Office) categories, emphasizing client-side security, user privacy, Internet privacy and data hygiene. The basic purpose is to provide the home and SOHO user, and the work-at-home corporate user, a thorough, realistic assessment of the security and privacy risks they face, to instruct them in making their machines and networks unattractive targets for attack and to limit the damage an intrusion or other security snafu can cause. Written with a minimum of technical jargon, and requiring little technical experience, this book is a great companion to every library.
