Conventional wisdom says that Macs are inherently safer than PCs, but thats largely a myth. Like all computers, Macs are susceptible to theft, network snooping, unauthorized access, malware, and other dangers that put users sensitivedata, and their privacy, at risk. The Mac Security Bible describes in detail the potential threats a Mac may faceand the tools and procedures readers can use to overcome them. Rather than prescribing a simplistic approach that says lock everything down all the time, this book helps readers understand exactly what risks each potential threat carries, how the various possible remedies balance security against convenience and usability, and how to take the best approach for any given user and situation. The book is written in an engaging, accessible style, with enough background information to make the information comprehensible to less-technical readersand enough deep detail to satisfy system administrators and other power users. From physical security and basic system preferences to complex third-party software, from individual computers to largenetworks, the Mac Security Bible is the comprehensive reference on security for Macs.
