introduction
Over the summer, I started thinking about why people think about security the way they do, and what might be causing people to make elementary mistakes when securing their computers. I’m not talking about the choice of products or the measures they take to keep their computers secure, but rather what is fundamentally flawed in the way they think about security. As I found out during conversations with people as I travelled around Europe, most users’ security knowledge is far from what I, as a so-called ’security expert’, might consider adequate. As I delved deeper into the subject, I discovered that quite a large number of users have completely wrong ideas and misconceptions about how to tackle security issues. These conversations prompted me to write this article in an attempt to correct the most common myths and misconceptions.
