Published May 26, 2010 | 
According to Mark Zuckerberg, Facebook is starting to roll out changes to its privacy settings that should make control of the settings much simpler, as suggested by many, many Facebook users that complained of the difficulty of understanding and working with the settings to their satisfaction, and knowing that their private information will be safe, a recent problem that has encroached on the comfort zone of millions of Facebook members concerned that their individual private information was needlessly exposed to the Web universe for all to see.

Introduction .:
First, we should first realize that the internet’s very nature opens up to harmful attacks. It was designed to allow free information to exchange –success followed quickly growing far beyond the designers wildest expectations. However, this comes with a price! Hackers and virus writers try to attack using the internet and computers connected to the network. I have seen many different large viruses attack servers and databases while working for some large companies as technical support for MSN. I was amazed at how many people were affected by these viruses. I have noticed and learned that many virus writers are targeting Microsoft products like servers and data bases. These same programs can detect and turn off your antivirus software or this was the case once upon a time.
I should state, hope that this is obvious, that the internet is different from the World Wide Web and was started by Tim Berners-Lee in 1991. More servers were put online, and with the Mosaic web browser released in 1993, followed by Netscape in 1994, more and more people installed web browsers and began participating in the Web. The amount of the world that uses the internet and web is simply amazing as we enter into the world of web 2.0!
Wow! What a large topic to cover. Take a moment and think about all the different computers in the world and all the possible security risks that might be involved. This is a tad over whelming for many. I will do my best to provide enough details about what types of technologies are out in the world and strategies for security and managing your risk. We should start off by looking at what are the types of security that we should be thinking about.
Well, there are in fact two types of general security which are:
- Physical
- Logical
What is physical? Generally speaking physical is tangible. This type of security is hard to know and difficult to place a value on. Still, it is important to look at even the intangible. You would think that physical is easy to see and easy to implement security, but it may be that you need less or more security than you would have thought true.
What is Logical? Logical is protection using nonphysical means. We would use programming for instance to help logically protect or add a layer of security. A sensory in your car can detect a person that is walking to close to your vehicle. The logical sensors in the computer will signal and react depending on the logic of the programming. Each area is important as a general guide. During this course I would like to help you see the different types of threats, ways to think about measuring the risks, and ways to see how we use the internet. There are many built in features to the internet but many we must implement ourselves at home or on the job.
A few more computer security concepts to think about are the following:
- Confidentiality…..: Protecting Data
- Integrity……………: Data and System functions
- Availability………..: Service is Not denied to authorized users
- Authenticity………: Being Genuine
- Accountability……: Security Goals are Met
Well, time to dive-in and I hope that I can keep this all simple and straight forward.
