If the Internet was an automobile, there would be a major worldwide recall to fix the problem of security. The model of car under scrutiny would be characterised by being open to anyone to drive with no central locking on the doors and no ignition key required to start the car. Also, the driver would need no driving licence to ‘press the pedal to the metal’ when driving on the Internet highway. How did we get to this situation?

Everyman’s Guide to Internet Security looks inside the Internet to explain how the Internet functions using the simple concept of a message with a to-address and pinpoints the points of susceptibility and how to navigate them with greater safety. Basically, when surfing the ‘Net’, the responsibility for security has fallen on to the shoulders of the surfer, hence it is up to the individual to be vigilant and wary of the many pitfalls of the Internet that are just a click away.

We hear and see many news reports that involve the Internet. Everyman’s Guide to Internet Security will give a comprehensive background to these stories, providing a greater understanding of what the Internet does or does not do to provide the big picture. Along the way, we look at the history of electronic communication from the days of the telegraph and the telephone to how everyone and everything can be connected to the Internet of today.

Everyman’s Guide to Internet Security explains how the Internet evolved from an in-house network of universities and research centres for sharing knowledge to the globalised Internet that spans international borders as though they do not exist and how the security aspects of the Internet were left at the starting line in the race to capitalise on this brave new world. The narrative goes beyond just the security aspects.

Each chapter is dedicated to a specific topic, such as the structure of mobile phone networks, global roaming, fibre to the home strategies and touch on the brave new world of Cloud Computing. Armed with a better understanding and a focussed view of the Internet, we can reap the benefits of the utopia of Internet applications while avoiding the perils that the Internet inherently presents and provide answers and advice for a safer journey across the Internet.
