"Information Security Basics" by Dave MacDonald — Mar. 27, 2010
How secure is your company? How secure are your documents and your data? How secure do you feel you are? And your loved ones? Are you safe from viruses and other malware?
If you conduct business over the Internet, is your information safe, or not? These questions continually plague us, and make us wonder if there will ever be a solution within our lifetime.
Having security knowledge, and knowing how to use it, can be a key to safer computing, and the more you learn about information security the better.
This Information Security Basics course will help you in your quest for security knowledge, and comfort in your computing practices.
