Abstract

Before we get into the nitty-gritty details of securing your devices and your data, I want to provide some motivation and set some expectations. In this chapter, I’ll help you understand what your real risks are and how safe you can expect to be. Being that this is the first chapter, I’ll take this opportunity to explain how this book is organized and help get the most out of it.

Footnotes
1
I really wanted to say “myriad and legion” here, but it sounded a little too pretentious. But I also thought it sounded really cool, so I’ve said it here. Now I’ve had my cake and eaten it too. Because what good is cake if you can’t also eat it? Who buys a cake with no expectation of ever consuming it? I never understood that expression.
 
2
The term comes from a group of English workers in the early 1800s who destroyed the newfangled textile manufacturing equipment because they felt it was threatening their livelihoods. A Luddite is someone who shuns new technology.
