Overview

Practical Online and Mobile Security is a comprehensive guide to navigating and mitigating the common and not-so-common risks of using connected devices--tablets, smart phones, laptops and various other components of the Internet of Things--that are all part of our increasingly vulnerable online lives. Maintaining privacy, data integrity (non-corruptibility), and confidentiality of personal data and information is becoming increasingly difficult. The variety of Internet-aware devices we all use daily creates multiple points of attack possibilities. Increased connectivity with emerging technologies, such as cloud services and the Internet of Things, will create even more concerns and threats to personal information. While the bad news is that some of these risks are outside of end-user control, such as poor coding practices and unknown software vulnerabilities, the good news is that many data breaches are preventable with an understanding of the devices and software we use. This book is especially useful for technology users looking for a practical guide to everyday data security: -Managers in a business environment wanting to understand the risks to company data -Employees who use the same devices or cloud platforms for business and personal use -Home-users needing to keep children, teens, grandparents, and themselves as safe as possible in a fast-changing tech environment Anyone who uses a smartphone, tablet device, or cloud-connected computer or IoT device needs at least a working knowledge of the emerging common threats and increasing user vulnerabilities. Practical Online and Mobile Security has your answers. Author Mike Harwood, the IT Manager for an international manufacturer, oversees all aspects of network management, including security (e.g. network, mobile, and wireless) of both a business and a manufacturing process network. Mike has written over twenty technology titles, including two best-selling books covering the Network+ certification for security professionals.
