Synopsis

Building on the success of the first edition, this new text provides a non-technical approach to practical computer security for all users, from business professionals to students to home users. Suitable for any introductory security course, this book makes a great bundle for those wishing to add security coverage to their course. This practical, hands-on book includes chapter openers with real-world situations to help give meaningful context to the chapter concepts. Then, each chapter closes with hands-on projects to help students apply their knowledge through critical thinking. In addition to basic security concepts, readers will gain practical skills on how to protect and harden their computers and networks from increasingly sophisticated attacks.
