- Why are you here?
- You have one or more computers at home. Everywhere you
turn, it seems like it is less safe on the internet. You worry
about whether you are doing the right things. You wonder just
what the right things are. Between Code Red and Nimda, you'd
just like to feel a little safer, to know that what you are
doing to protect yourself at home is about what you can
do.
- Why are we here?
- We are here to help. We will try to provide answers
to the most common problems, and to help point out the most
useful things for you to know, so that you can feel
comfortable about your home set up.
- What do we know?
- Quite a bit. We've been working in the security fielf
for quite some time, and we've had home networks for a number
of years. We've made many mistakes, and not made a whole lot
more mistakes.
- What can't we know?
- We can't predict the future. We don't know when or
where the next big problem will strike. We won't be able to
tell you how to be completely secure. We can't even make
ourselves completely secure.
Remember, the choice is always between convenience and
security. How secure you want to be will depend on how much
convenience you are willing to give up.
