This book is an easy to read guide to understanding the complex topic of cyber security. It will explain the basic concepts that you need to know to protect yourself and your data whilst using the Internet. Now more than ever, as cyber threats increase and evolve, having basic cyber security knowledge is important in order to stay safe and secure in our interconnected world.

This guide is aimed at an individual who is reasonably familiar with the basics of computing i.e. they know how to use a computer and the Internet well enough to make basic changes to settings on their computer. This guide is not intended as an in-depth technical guide. Instead, its aim is to provide some guidance for the average person who wants to improve upon their cyber security. The information provided in this guide will allow the average computer user to assess their current cyber security situation and either directly improve their cyber security (i.e. configure their digital devices so that these are secure) or ask the right questions to an expert/forum/search engine if they are not confident about tackling the settings by themselves.

The people who would steal your digital property are not geniuses (although they are probably brighter than the average crook). They operate like a common thief, they look for a soft target or an easy opening to access your data and try to see what and how much they can get.

It is the aim of this guide to arm you with the information to make yourself a difficult target for cyber crooks, who often rely on ignorance about cyber security to steal your data. By the end of this guide, you will know enough to implement cyber security measures that will deter the average cyber crook, who will put you in the ‘too-difficult basket’ and move on to easier pickings.
