How to Practice Safe Macs

August 1994--Berkeley, CA--In these days of multiuser and networked Macs,
there's just no telling who's been spreading viruses, stealing or
corrupting data, stealing hardware, even threatening systems with the
wrath of fire, flood, bomb, or power failure. It may even be
self-inflicted (user and machine errors are far more common than
incidences of foul play). Why, it's enough to make a person lock the Mac
up in a closet and never let it out. But there's another way--reading
Protect Your Macintosh. This book tells readers everything they need to
know to keep their Macs safe whether a standalone machine or part of a
network, whether for an individual or an organization.

Protect Your Macintosh is full of useful tips, suggestions, strategies, and
solutions that will help readers prevent, detect, and recover from
security failures. It's the only book on security written just for Mac
users, so readers can be assured that all the information will be
relevant. From physical security to virus protection, file encryption to
file backup, network security to power protection, software integrity to
disaster recovery--it's all here, plus lists of sources for up-to-date
product information, and the author's opinion on which products are best
and why.

Because of its dear writing style, real-world examples, many figures and
illustrations, and boxes with important points bulletted, readers don't
need to be computer scientists to learn from this book--it's just as
useful for non-techies.

The author, Bruce Schneier, is an independent computer-security consultant
in Oak Park, Illinois. He is a frequent contributor on computer security
to several magazines. His book Applied Cryptography was published by John
Wiley & Sons.
