ITsafe

| 0 Comments

ITsafe is a government service, launched this week by the Home Office.

ITsafe is designed to provide both home users and small businesses with proven, plain English advice to help protect computers, mobile phones and other devices from malicious attack.

It consists of both the advice on its website, and a low-volume Alerting Service.

A good way to start protecting yourself is to follow the ITsafe Four Point Guide to better information security.

You can sign up to a free e-mail and mobile phone texting services:

* Bulletins - e-mails that describe current IT security issues
* Alerts - e-mail bulletins about only the most urgent dangers
* ITsafe News - a quarterly in-depth publication sent by e-mail
* Text Messaging - alerts sent to your mobile phone number.
