Security for medium-sized company networks

Hello everyone,

usually network administrators are predestined to write about  security related to computer systems and networks  .  Guess what  – i decided to do so !

I know a lot of  “users” will yawn now and can`t wait to meet the sandman! But believe me , it does not have to end up in this way.
Users are an important part of security. So it`s always wise to stick your nose into security related topics. You can actively support your administrator or for instance kick the admin`s butt for showing what he/she did wrong !

Therfore for all interested users or those who want to take revenge for endless arrogant dialogs with your local administrator.
