“If our computer is not safe then we are also not safe mentally and socially. Let's secure our computers to be safe.”
Inder Khatri

Bruce Schneier
“Computer security can simply be protecting your equipment and files from disgruntled employees, spies, and anything that goes bump in the night, but there is much more. Computer security helps ensure that your computers, networks, and peripherals work as expected all the time, and that your data is safe in the event of hard disk crash or a power failure resulting from an electrical storm. Computer security also makes sure no damage is done to your data and that no one is able to read it unless you want them to”
Bruce Schneier
