Security doesn’t require a robust understanding of networks and computers. Most of it comes down to non-technical actions and using common sense! In this edition, we jump into the simple side of security with a quick overview of what it means to use non-technical security awareness, and why it’s important to separate your professional life from your private life (such as with BYOD, or bring your own device). We wrap things up in the physical world by highlighting a few real-life examples of physical security events.
