New book for SMBs discusses security and benefits of open source
Apr. 23, 2004

Apress has released Computer Security for the Home and Small Office by Thomas C. Greene. Online privacy and computer security are issues of widespread concern, but most users don't realize that a few hours of customization can offer protection.

The book demonstrates how to disable specific default networking capabilities, encryption techniques for sensitive files and electronic correspondence, and reveals security elements hidden within the operating system that can quickly limit routes to system exploitation and privacy invasion.

Techniques for both Linux and Windows operating systems, detailing the security advantages of using open source applications are available as tutorials.
