The Myths of Security takes you to the inside of the professional security world. Covering topics ranging from anti-virus software to the NTSA, this book is provocative, insightful, and always controversial. Is OS X really more secure than WIndows? What are antivirus vendors really thinking about? What does anti-virus software actually accomplish, and is a poor solution better than no solution at all? How do black-hats plan their careers? Why don't computer users care about privacy? What's does the future hold for the security industry? Written by a long-term veteran of the security industry, this book is the ultimate insider's guide.
