The Path of Least Resistance: Computer Security Is Common Sense

The inter-workings of computer security is often viewed as mysterious; however, nothing could be further from the truth.  Computer Security is Common Sense is a series of simple to follow books, each tackling a separate aspect of computer security.  Through use of analogies, these books help associate computer security practices with real life, everyday examples without sacrificing the accuracy of the technical details.  These books are perfect for non-technical managers, computer security novices, and systems administrators looking to broaden their knowledge.


The Path of Least Resistance approaches network defense by addressing the methodology of attacking a network.  Attackers plan their attacks to be swift and targeted to minimize the chance of being caught.  By identifying the weakest links and hardening them, the entire chain-mail of security is more resilient.
