    Protect yourself from cyber threats and risks
    Cyberspace, the Internet, computer networks, the digital world – call it what you will – is always developing. And so are the threats and risks of being online.
    Security in the Digital World explains the common digital threats to home users, home offices, mobile users, consumers and parents alike, as well as providing tips, advice and guidance. It doesn't matter if you are working in the most mature enterprise environment, unemployed, retired or still at school, whether you often have a smartphone in your hand or only use an e-reader, you are at risk.
    Security in the Digital World is a straightforward guide for the home user, parent, consumer and home office, providing a fountain of knowledge for modern security needs. It gives an overview of who conducts cyber attacks any why, and where cyber threats come from. It also explains what you can do to protect yourself and others, and provides a personal cyber security risk assessment.
