Addison Wesley - Have You Locked the Castle Gate. Home and Small Business Computer Security by Kiwy(START)

As I wrote this introduction, word of an e-mail virus was breaking in the news. As I sat to edit it, yet another virus had been found and was being fought. These viruses can take down major e-mail systems, disrupt communications, and destroy data. Worst of all, the viruses spread fast and easily through our networks, yet this is nothing new. Several e-mail viruses have surfaced prior to these, and many more are sure to follow. So how can they still be a threat? Why hasn't someone done something to stop them?

As I sat to edit it yet another virus had been found and was being fought. These viruses can take down major e-mail systems disrupt communications and destroy data. Worst of all the viruses spread fast and easily through our networks yet this is nothing new. Several e-mail viruses have surfaced prior to these and many more are sure to follow. So how can they still be a threat Why hasn t someone done something to stop them The main reason is easy to see most people aren t prepared to defend their computer systems from these attacks and aren t aware of the types of threats waiting for them in the electronic frontiers of the Internet. In fact most people are so unprepared that they don t see any threat resulting from connecting their computers to the world. For this reason these virus attacks are successful. Many people connected to the Internet are not protecting themselves in any way from such threats in fact most are not protecting themselves at all. I don t have statistics to back me up but I d guess that most home users and small businesses have no effective security on their Internet-exposed networks or computers. Because we all share the same network the Internet we each need to place some security around our part of it to provide some protection for our data. Otherwise we are providing an opportunity for someone to come along and exploit our computers. With so many computers on the Net you might be lucky enough to remain safe for months or even years without security because no one has looked your way yet. But this can work against you too by giving you a false sense of security when indeed you are compromised or under attack and you just don t know it. Don t be fooled into thinking that because you are one of many you won t be a victim. Probably every gazelle and water buffalo in Africa
