Artful Codger –
Not as in-depth or detailed as I thought it might be but it’s a very good first read on this subject. I have and will continue to read more from this author. Some sections are already a little out of date but that’s the problem with any internet book.

Very detailed and current reference on protecting yourself in cyberspace. If you spend any time online (and I assume that you do since you a reading this review) you need to take time to protect yourself. Get a copy of Mike Bazzell’s books. ……. Michael Chesbro, Author of “Digital Defense”
D. L. Reynolds –
EXACTLY what I was looking for. The information I wanted conveyed clearly, succinctly, with just the right depth. Highly readable. More than just the basics, but not so much technical detail that the average computer user can’t follow it. I especially appreciate that the author included Mac-specific info where possible. Great stuff! I’ll be reading more of Mr. Bazzell’s work.
Amazon Customer –
Probably the most helpful and useful publication one will find regarding digital security. The author recommends programs by name, tricks and practices to be used to minimize data theft and ID theft and much more. If you own a computer or smart phone, this is a must read.

I think this book is a good place to start, if someone wants to learn more about computer security. A seasoned practitioner of Information Security could use this book as a core component to create a great Security Awareness Training program for users.
Mr. Bazzell starts off as if the reader knows very little information on computer security. However by the end of the book, he’s very conversational in tone, and is suggesting the reader shares what he learned.
The book has a building block approach. Not all readers will need to go chapter by chapter. But starting with Chapters 1 and 2, Mr. Bazzell starts a great foundation for the things in the rest of the book. The book starts with protecting your computer, and then your passwords. From there he goes on to show how to protect your online accounts, your data, and your credit cards, your debit and your banking information. Next is about protecting your telephones, cellular and work. Chapters 8 and 9 go in to always connected devices and wireless networking. Chapter 10 talks about how parents can protect their children online.
If your bank accounts or credit card has been compromised and you want a deeper understanding read this book. If you want to create a Security Awareness Program, start with this book. If you want to get in to Computer Security, this book covers the basics you should already know by the time you walk in to a class room or entry level job.
