商品描述
Rely on this practical, end-to-end guide on cyber safety and privacy written expressly for a non-technical audience. You will have just what you need to protect yourself--step by step, without judgment, and with as little jargon as possible. Just how secure is your computer right now? You probably don't know. Computers and the Internet have revolutionized the modern world, but if you are like most people, you have no clue how these things work and don't know the real threats.
Protecting your computer is like defending a medieval castle. While moats, walls, drawbridges, and castle guards can be effective, you would go broke trying to build something dragon-proof. This book is not about protecting yourself from a targeted attack by the NSA; it is about arming yourself against common hackers and mass surveillance. There are dozens of no-brainer things we all should be doing to protect our computers and safeguard our data--just like wearing a seat belt, installing smoke alarms, and putting on sunscreen.
Author Carey Parker has structured this book to give you maximum benefit with minimum effort. If you just want to know what to do, every chapter has a complete checklist with step-by-step instructions and pictures.

作者簡介
Carey Parker, CIPM was born and raised in Indiana, an only child who loved to tear apart his electronic toys and reassemble them in interesting ways. He began programming computers in middle school when personal computers were just starting to become popular. For years, these twin interests percolated until he attended Purdue University and learned that you could get paid to do this stuff--it was called electrical engineering! After obtaining both bachelor and master degrees in electrical engineering, Carey launched his career in telecommunications software development at Bell Northern Research (aka the "Big Nerd Ranch"). Over the next 20 years, he wrote software for multiple companies, large and small, and lived in various cities across the southern United States. In recent years, particularly after the Edward Snowden revelations in 2013, Carey became deeply concerned about computer security and privacy. In 2014, he began combining his passion for computers, cybersecurity, and fantasy novels with his long-time desire to write a book, and the result is Firewalls Don't Stop Dragons. This eventually launched a blog, newsletter, and weekly podcast of the same name.
作者簡介(中文翻譯)
Carey Parker, CIPM 出生於印第安納州，成長過程中是一個獨生子，喜歡拆解電子玩具並以有趣的方式重新組裝。當個人電腦剛開始流行時，他在中學時期開始編程。這兩個興趣在他進入普渡大學（Purdue University）後逐漸發酵，並了解到可以因為這些工作而獲得報酬——這被稱為電機工程！在獲得電機工程的學士和碩士學位後，Carey 在貝爾北方研究公司（Bell Northern Research，簡稱「Big Nerd Ranch」）開始了他的電信軟體開發職業生涯。在接下來的20年中，他為多家大小公司撰寫軟體，並在美國南部的各個城市生活。近年來，特別是在2013年愛德華·史諾登（Edward Snowden）揭露事件之後，Carey 對電腦安全和隱私問題深感擔憂。2014年，他開始將對電腦、網路安全和奇幻小說的熱情與長期想寫書的願望結合，最終創作了Firewalls Don't Stop Dragons。這本書最終催生了一個同名的部落格、電子報和每週播客。
