Introduction to my blog

The purpose of this blog is to give advice and educate everyday computer users about how to protect their computers and even sensitive data. The reason this is important is because most people think it is the job of IT to keep computers and networks secure. While this is true, it is everybody's duty to protect the things they own or are responsible for. A common example I use is that even though most people aren't physical security experts, they still lock their doors at night. Often times, hackers take advantage of the weakest link in the computer security chain, the non-technical people.

Organizations give sensitive information to almost every employee they have. The amount of ways to get to that information has increased also. Smart phones, email, WiFi, and much more. I would like to give the knowledge to people to secure this information and fight back. The best part about this is that you do not need to have technical knowledge to accomplish these tasks.
