US Government Document – Home Networking Security Best Practices

A PDF document created by the United States government on keeping a home network secure is actually a good read:

• NSA: Best Practices for Keeping Your Home Network Secure (PDF Document)

The document goes on to address Apple devices, home network structures and setup, Internet behaviour recommendations, e-mail usage, and more.

It is probably one of the best security documents that we have seen oriented to the home and/or home/office user base as it covers a broad range of devices, operating systems, and awareness of security elements involved with each piece of the home network.

It is worth the read for us as well as our client’s users.
