A Techie Resource for All Things IT Security and Identity Protection- For You Too

The place to go for IT security and identity protection info is https://www.sans.org, which is a techie training site.  Though it may be too much techie for you, it is comprehensive and just looking at some of the pages can provide you with the vocabulary and activities on this topic.  You can pick a topic of interest and "Google" that topic to find other internet resources, some of which will be "consumer friendly."

Here are some specific pages from that site that are especially helpful:

• Posters that, for me, provide a comprehensive organization of particular topics
• Reading Room:  top articles on this topic
• Best Practices on this topic

Again, these are techie articles, but useful to the consumer to see the depth and breadth of the problem and what is being done by the "white hat" community.
