Whether you're responsible for looking after computers at your business, or in your home, it's more important than ever to know how to secure them from threats. Anyone who reads this book will walk away with a comprehensive understanding of how to reduce the risks of a cybercriminal attack, and protect themselves in the office and in the home. -- Graham Cluley * nakedsecurity.sophos.com *
I would have no hesitation in recommending this book to the educated computer user who is concerned with their ignorance with regard to information security. It is well written and nicely paced and gives good insight into the perils of home computer use. -- Wendy Goucher * InfoSec Reviews *
