PC Safety Made Simple (Target delivery date: March 31st)

How often have you tried to log onto a website, only to discover that the password you have written down is now invalid - and you have no idea what the new password is?

Have you ever received an email alert saying that your personal information may have been involved in a "data breach" - and have no idea what to do?

Do you keep seeing references to 2FA, but have no idea what the heck it really is? Do you need it?

If this sounds like you, believe me, you are not alone. Most folks learn just enough PC skills to function day to day. 

Unfortunately, these days you just can't ignore online threats. Anyone can be a target these days, not just big corporations. And hackers? They are getting more and more sophisticated. 

But you aren't overly technical - and really don't care to be! Can you still effectively protect yourself?

You absolutely can! The whole idea behind PC Safety Made Simple is to provide the average lay person with a concise, understandable, easy-to-follow guide to fending off cyberthreats - and knowing what to do if you are the victim of an attack.

While PC Security Made Simple is still in the works, the planned contents will be: 

• Why Personal Cybersecurity Matters
• Understanding PCs and Operating Systems (no tech skills required)
• Keeping Your Software Updated and Why
• Antivirus, Firewalls, and Security Tools
• Passwords, Password Managers, and Two-Factor Authentication
• Safe Browsing and Email Hygiene
• Recognizing and Avoiding Scams (PC-focused)
• Securing Your Home Network
• Cloud Storage and Data Backup
• Protecting Financial Activity on Your PC
• What to Do if You Are Hacked

Includes an implementation guide and checklists to guide you through strengthening your defenses against threats.

Note: As this book is still being written, if you have suggestions for content, please write to me at: [email protected]. I'd love to hear from you! 

Also write if you'd like me to add you to the pre-release notification list. (How do a pre-screening and discount coupon sound?)

This book will also be available as an online course. Stay tuned for details.
