- BLUE RIDGE SUMMIT, PA -- Computer viruses and security leaks make the news
- almost every month. Local area networks are particularly vulnerable--in
- less than one second, a virus can erase megabytes of data and wipe out
- weeks of work performed by dozens of people. To help personal computer and
- local Area Network users protect their data and systems from today's most
- common threats, computer expert Stephen Cobb has compiled this complete
- guide to PC and LAN security. Cobb takes a realistic approach to this
- growing problem, explaining the most cost-effective methods for guarding
- against:
-
- ** Hackers and other interlopers
- ** Viruses, worms, and logic bombs
- ** Vandals and thieves
- ** Competitors and industrial spies
- ** Power failures
- ** Fires and other catastrophes
-
- Throughout, the emphasis is on how to create effective security through
- careful planning, simple precautions, and user-training as an alternative
- to purchasing expensive equipment. For PC users and network
- administrators, this is the best comprehensive book available for
- improving data security without spending, a fortune.
