The National Cyber Security Alliance (NCSA) has designated October 2007 as National Cyber Security Awareness Month. I feel that information security is an ongoing process that is not limited to any single month, week, or day. However, this is an opportunity for the cyber security savvy person to focus on educating their family and friends during National Cyber Security Awareness month 2007. This is especially important with the holiday shopping season approaching when many people purchase new computers, shop online, or add new gadgets to their computer network. It’s also a time for “security” companies and organizations to hawk their own solutions. So, get educated yourself or educate your family and friends. And be sure to avoid any bogus security products by asking a technologically savvy friend for some advice before purchasing a computer security solution.
Another great resource for home computer security is the CERT Home Computer Security web page.
