In this awesome book, Marlon Buchanan, provides a great deal of information, tips, and sound judgment on personal cybersecurity, and what all owners of personal networks should know and practice to help protect their “life” basically. I highly, highly recommend this book.

Amazon Reviewer

After reading this manual, I now have a much better understanding of how imperative it is to be actively engaged in protecting my family from cybersecurity breaches; breaches that can make their way into my personal data through seemingly innocent, transaction and activities. This manual not only provides a comprehensive overview of common cyber attacks you need to be aware of, but offers very doable cybersecurity practices for preventing hackers from infiltrating your home network and personal information. I also appreciated the manual style layout as it provides a ready reference and is easy to navigate. I am very happy to have discovered this author and look forward to reading his other books.

Goodreads Reviewer

What I liked most about this short, pithy book is the author’s behind-the-scenes hard work to hide the complexities of hi-tech from the reader and present instead, in the simplest of terms, what exactly the reader needs to know or do for personal safety/security on the Internet. Consequently, it’s the ideal book for the layperson—everyone who uses computers often but has little or no knowledge of cybercrime, IT, computer science, and the like. Another thing I liked is the comprehensive nature of the book – it applies to all computers in the world—those running Linux, Windows, and macOS.”
