Most have too much information that would apply on an enterprise level rather than a home user/newbie.
Is there a difference between enterprise level security and newbie security?
The resulting cost of an intrusion (both financial and other indirect costs like loss of reputation). Of course, even a small home webserver should be configured to be secure. However, in practice, if the cost of a successful crack is a few days' worth of downtime, then you probably aren't going to be bothered about it on a home machine (although you'll probably be rather annoyed), but on an enterprise-level system, that sort of downtime costs $$$$$$. As a result, people are more willing to spend lots of time and money on securing enterprise-level systems. -- David Smith Work Email: Dave.Smith@st.com STMicroelectronics Home Email: David.Smith@ds-electronics.co.uk Bristol, England GPG Key: 0xF13192F2
