Information security has many important messages and lessons for good security. Jim Rapoza's 12 Ways to Be A Security Idiot is a clever on-screen slide show with important messages about:




  1. Firewalls


  2. Laptop security and data encryption


  3. Internet access from "anywhere"


  4. Anti-virus protection


  5. Phishing sites


  6. Too good to be true schemes


  7. Danger in email attachments


  8. Passwords


  9. Operating system and application patches


  10. The Web as playground


  11. Open wireless networks


  12. Trusting soul in social engineering
