Mathematical logic; Computer security

Traditional computer security books typically focus on the implementation or theory of security controls and mechanisms at the application, operating system, network, and physical layers. Breaking the traditional model, this book educates readers at the user layer. It helps you better understand the practical aspects of computer security. The authors cover such popular security topics as social networking, social engineering (phishing), and online shopping. They also address situation awareness, including the security risks of using wireless Internet at a university and the risks of using a public computer.

Reviews for Computer Security Literacy: Staying Safe in a Digital World

User error was manifest last week when it was detailed that the New York Times was penetrated over the course of four months by Chinese hackers who infiltrated its network and obtained passwords for a significant amount of the Times reporters and employees. Attempting to alleviate such user error issues, Computer Security Literacy: Staying Safe in a Digital World is a helpful security awareness book. ... The book provides information about essential security topics in an easy-to-read manner. ... a worthwhile guide for an organization to have in their information security awareness program. It provides the reader with an understanding and appreciation for the magnitude of computer security. Had the New York Times employees been aware of the risks and taken actions as written in Computer Security Literacy, odds are that the effects would have been much less, and they wouldn't have been a cover story in their own periodical. -Ben Rothke, RSA Conference.com, February 2013
