SOHO Safety
Your home office might not be as safe and secure
as you think. “Security remains the weak link in
protecting vital hardware, data and personal
health,” says author Jeff Zbar.
In his book
Safe@Home: Seven Keys to Home Office Security
(FirstPublish, 2001), Zbar provides the
solutions to a safe home office. He explains in
thorough detail how:
-
Office design and
ergonomics create a healthy work environment
-
Homeowner’s and
business insurance can replace lost or stolen
equipment
-
Childproofing the
home office promotes family safety
-
Planning protects
the home office and workflow from natural
disaster
-
Anti-virus
software, firewalls and other technology
protect the computer
The book also includes worksheets and
checklists you need to ensure your home office
stays protected.

It wastes your time. It irritates you. Some
days it infuriates you. You’ve tried to block,
delete and unsubscribe. Yet spam just keeps
coming. Maybe it’s time to get some help. Here
