About this book

With the threats that affect every computer, phone or other device connected to the internet, security has become a responsibility not just for law enforcement authorities or business leaders, but for every individual.

Understanding Security Issues provides a solid understanding of the threats, and focuses on useful tips and practices for protecting yourself, all the time, everywhere and anywhere you go.

The security mindset and good security practices.

Assets that need to be protected at work and at home.

Protecting yourself and your business at work.

Protecting yourself and your assets on travel.
