Hardly a week goes by without news of another organisation hit by hackers, and many readers wonder whether their own information is safe. This practical guide shows that ordinary people and small businesses can protect themselves without specialist training. It walks through sensible security habits, ways to stop attacks before they succeed, safer working arrangements for staff who work from home, and the steps to take if your data is stolen.
