CERN Security Handbook

  Lionel Cons CN/DCI

Why should I care about security?
How can I choose a good password?
Can someone spy my screen?
Who should I call in case of (computer) security incident?

Everything you ever wanted to know about security (but were afraid to ask) is now in the 'CERN Security Handbook'. This guide describes how (and why) an end user of CERN computing facilities should protect himself.

The guide is available:

• at the UCO
• via anonymous FTP:
  asis01.cern.ch:/pub/doc/CERN/us.ps
• on WWW under CERN Home Page -> UNIX Workstation Support -> Security.
