Advice for home users

Yesterday, a teacher contacted me about my presention at the security conference because she wanted to use it in her class (or at least parts of it). Since a lot of the content is focussed on corporations, I found it somewhat unsuitable without a major remake. Although the part about drive-by downloads in the presentation is relevant for home users. So after some brainstorming, I decided to give some relevant links.

First of all, the SANS Cyber Security Awareness Month is a wealth of information on several topics. Also "Patching, Damned if you do, Damned if you don't" provides several tools to help you update your entire PC (not just windows update).

Then, I found a very userfriendly designed guidelines from McAfee (note that I'm not sponsored by them). But the documents on their site looks really nice and could be useful. Let's start with the 10 step internet safety plan for your family (pdf).

There are several more documents over at the McAfee Security Advice Center.
