Welcome to the first day of the 30 Day Information Security Challenge. Strictly speaking, it will be a 31 Day Challenge because of our inclusion of Day Zero, but I thought it worthwhile to give some background for users to understand who is taking part in this challenge.<\/p>\n
So of course there’s me, a seasoned IT professional who has been programming computers since age 11 and with a deep professional interest in information security.<\/p>\n
Then there’s Juan (not his real name) – he’s the CEO of a mid-sized company (approximately 60 employees). He has suffered from identity theft in the past and is keen to try to eliminate that threat from his future.<\/p>\n
Next is Diana (not her real name) – she’s a business management consultant and, in her own words “a complete Luddite with computers”.<\/p>\n
Lastly there is Priscilla (not her real name or gender) – she’s the CFO of company run by Juan and is basically going through this process because of a bet with Juan.<\/p>\n
As you can see, none of the other Challengers have any great affinity for technology, and part of this challenge is to see how non-tech people get on with each day’s task.<\/p>\n
Tomorrow, we’ll get into the actual challenge and start making our lives more digitally secure.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
