Sophos, a world leader in IT security and data protection, has released an A-Z security guide on common computer threats. Appropriately titled “Threatsaurus”, this guide defines and explains the various data and security threats on the web today in a simple, easy-to-understand language.
The first section of the 120-page guide contains descriptions of different types of threats from “A to Z,” starting with “Adware” and ending with “Zombies,” with a multitude of different threats in-between, such as Cookies, Malware, Spam, Trojans, etc. The following section lists the various kinds of hardware and software currently used to secure computers, including anti-spam and encryption software, firewall protection, and more. The guide also contains safety tips on what computer users can do to avoid many of these threats and ends with a “Virus Timeline,” which summarizes the evolution of the computer virus and describes some of the most prevalent viruses that have emerged throughout the last 3 decades.
Informative, useful and a “fun read”: the “Threatsaurus” guides not only the IT professional, but any computer user as well through the jungle of computer security threats. If you would like a copy of this free guide, you can download it at http://www.sophos.com/microsite/data-protection/. In addition, we have a limited number of free “Threatsaurus” calendars available at our office. If you would like one, please drop on by while supplies last!
