Traveling in Cyberspace: Computer Security

In this column we discuss a subject with which most of us are probably not too concerned, but certainly should be. That subject is computer security. For most, computer security is not something you think about until something has gone terribly awry. As we will discuss there are very real and serious reasons as to why all of us, anyone using the computer to store confidential, sensitive, personal, or otherwise important information, should care about computer security. We will also describe several methods of making sure that your confidential files remain confidential, they remain available to you, and their integrity remains intact.
