Sophos launches alphabetical guide to computer security
From authentication to viruses, an at-a-glance guide
to complete corporate protection
A comprehensive guide to computer security has been launched by
anti-virus specialist, Sophos. The report, by Head of Research,
Paul Ducklin, is targeted at IT managers wanting straightforward
advice on keeping data secure.
The quick reference guide advises on all aspects of protection,
including external and internal security threats. It covers issues
ranging from programming in Java to computer misuse. It even
includes tips on securing your building and warns of the need to
protect against "social engineers"- credible-sounding hackers who
use telephone calls to trick unsuspecting users into revealing
security secrets. "These days, IT managers face attack from all
angles. We compiled this guide to offer at-a-glance advice against
a broad range of threats,"said Ducklin. "If the information
provided saves even one company from losing its mission-critical
data, it will have been worthwhile."
The guide is available by calling Sophos on 01235 559933.
