FREE Telecommuting Security Manuals

Telecommuting covers a lot of territory these days... home desktop and roaming laptop computers, cell phones with computer-like features, and a variety of personal digital assistants (PDAs), used to read and send email, access Web sites, review and edit documents, etc.

"How do I stitch up the security loopholes?"
"Where can I get some help?"


The government buried some good advice under these arcane titles.

Security for Telecommuting and Broadband Communications (
NIST Special Publication 800-46)
and its supplement...
User’s Guide to Securing External Devices for Telework and Remote Access (NIST Special Publication 800-114
)

For more good advice hiding under arcane titles visit The National Institute of Standards and Technology, Special Publications web page. ~Kevin
