Case Project: Sources of Security Information The following is a partial overall list of some of the sources for security information: Security content (online or printed articles that deal specifically with unbiased security content) Consumer content (general consumer-based magazines or broadcasts not devoted to security but occasionally carry end-user security tips).
• Vendor content (material from security vendors who sell security services, hardware, or software) Security experts (IT staff recommendations or newsletters)
• Direct instruction (college classes or a workshop conducted by a local computer vendor)
• Friends and family
• Personal experience
• Create a table with each of these sources and columns listed Advantages, Disadvantages, Example, and Rating.
• Use the Internet to complete the entire table. The Rating column is a listing from 1-7 (with 1 being the highest) of how useful each of these sources is in your opinion. Compare your table with other learners.
