Securing the web
Description
The consequences of lax Internet security are severe! Use Securing the Web to awaken your students to the very real dangers posed by online security threats. In this video, a couldn't-care-less computer user is transported into his PC where he learns firsthand about phishing and pharming, spyware and adware, viruses and Trojans, and denial-of-service attacks and zombie networks. Weapons in the security arsenal-firewalls, antivirus software, software patches and updates, strong passwords, encryption protocols-are also profiled. This is vital information disguised as a darkly humorous sci-fi action drama.
