The rise of new technologies in our lives, which has taken us from powerful mobile phones to fitness trackers and smart appliances in under a decade, has also raised the need for everyone who uses these to protect themselves from cyber scams and hackers. Every new device and online service you use that improves your life also opens new doors for attackers looking to discover your passwords, banking accounts, personal photos, and anything else you want to keep secret.

In Cyber Smart, author Bart Mc Donough uses his extensive cybersecurity experience speaking at conferences for the FBI, major financial institutions, and other clients to answer the most common question he hears: ‘How can I protect myself at home, on a personal level, away from the office?’ Mc Donough knows cybersecurity and online privacy are daunting to the average person so Cyber Smart simplifies online good hygiene with five simple ‘Brilliance in the Basics’ habits anyone can learn.
