Отрывок из книги

I’m an information security analyst for the Brevard Public School District in Viera Florida. My job is rather new and was brought on by the growth of the internet and the need to protect confidential and/or financial data in our connected world. I work with hundreds of adults and students every year who know computers and the internet well but they don’t necessarily know a lot about what it is to be a responsible cyber citizen. Are they to blame? Of course not. My father’s generation created the internet and never could have imagined in a thousand years that the internet would be become what it has become today. What? You never received any cyber security training? Guess what?—kids still don’t today.

As a professional who works in education I think it’s time for this to change. Our country’s future economic stability depends on it! Why am I writing this book? The answer is to share my knowledge and experience with each one of you. You may be a teacher, a student, a lawyer, a doctor or a landscaper, just to name a few occupations. You have at least one computer and you are doing a lot of cool things online. You just want to use the internet without being taken advantage of by cyber criminals.
