Synopsis

With Apple's newest Macs, getting on the Internet is easier than ever. But once you're online, you're exposed to all sorts of malicious mischief-from eavesdroppers and viruses to hackers and stolen personal data. And if you are setting up a home network or running a Web site on your Mac, you are open to all sorts of harm. To help ensure you and your Mac are safe, authors Alan Oppenheimer and Charles Whitaker explain in a clear, no-nonsense style how to stay secure online, from protecting your Mac at home to guarding your data on a network at work. Alan and Charles also look at the emerging security issues of Apple's new operating system, Mac OS X.

À propos de la quatrième de couverture

Within the past few years, permanent connections to the Internet (cable modems, DSL) have become available for home users in need of faster and more reliable Internet access. And peer-to-peer networking, made popular by the rapid growth of Napster, is everywhere. But these technological advances also open up your computer to security risks. While there are many books available on Internet and network security, there are virtually no books on Macintosh security for home users. Topics covered include: Internet basics, general security principles, physical security, Mac OS security features, viruses, getting started with personal firewalls, analyzing and reacting to security threats, Mac OS X, multiple-Mac households, and Macs at work. Written mainly for Internet-connected Macintosh home users, especially those on permanent connections like DSL and cable modems.
