Your Best Security Practices

June 30, 2009

Wow what an incredible year. Here is the end of June, and the beginning of summer. It is quite wonderful to be writing to you every week, now that SSN is coming out weekly. As usual, your emails keep me in touch with any problems you may be running into along with your concerns regarding protecting your computers and information. Keep those emails coming!

The term 'best practice' has been around for a while. As I am doing the research for my book, the meaning of the term has much significance. I have seen many definitions but this is what works for me: "Practices that have proven successful in particular circumstances. Knowledge about effective practices is used to demonstrate what works and what does not and to accumulate and apply knowledge about how and why they work in different situations and contexts."

Best practices can also be defined as the most efficient (least amount of effort) and effective (best results) way of accomplishing a task, based on repeatable procedures that have proven themselves over time for large numbers of people. This is pretty much what we do with SunbeltSecurityNews - provide you with the best practices for keeping your computers and information safe and sound.

This week we highlight Trojans, those mysterious artifacts that hide in your computer and try to take over your world. Thankfully, you have VIPRE (you do have VIPRE don't you?) to protect you.

Follow us on Twitter! We will be tweeting about various security issues and tips.
http://www.sunbeltsecuritynews.com/$SSN/090701-SSN-Twitter

Enjoy the latest issue of SunbeltSecurityNews. And remember stay safe out there!

Best,

Larry Jaffe
Editor SunbeltSecurityNews

Hi. this is kind of an "unconventional" question , but have other visitors asked you how get the menu bar to look like you've got it? I also have a blog and am really looking to alter around the theme, however am scared to death to mess with it for fear of the search engines punishing me. I am very new to all of this ...so i am just not positive exactly how to try to to it all yet. I'll just keep working on it one day at a time.
