How security aware are you?
If you are at all unsure about how vulnerable you can be online, it might be worth taking this interesting little test.
This Security Quiz from Agnitum poses 15 teasers to which you really should know the answers before you even think about firing up a browser. Ok, some of the early questions are a little straightforward, generously giving you multiple choice options for posers as tricky as “what is a firewall?”.
However, it hots up a little further down the line with questions about botnets, spyware and phishing. And careless surfers would do well to heed the warnings issued in question 7 about patching Word vulnerabilities.
Many of us who take advantage of hotel wifi on our travels will be interested in question 8’s recommendation for securing an unfamiliar wireless connection.
Everyone should also educate themselves about HIPS and other behaviour-based mechanisms.
Overall, a neat little quiz and if you score top marks, you can download a tidy security-expert icon for your website. The quiz is designed to promote Agnitum’s Outpost Firewall Pro product, which provides all-in-one protection against spyware, hackers and ID theft. Agnitum also offer a virus protection product, Outpost Security Suite Pro, which protects against a wide range of viruses, spyware, rootkits and botnets.
