WhiteHat Inc. Launches New Public Advisory Site
New Public Advisory Site Educates Home Computer Users and SOHO's About Hackers, Whackers, Trojans and Worms
TORONTO, ONTARIO, Jul 3, 2002 - WhiteHat Inc., a leading Information Technology Security Provider (ITSP)
launches a new Public Advisory site ( www.whitehatadvisory.com) for home computer users and SOHO's (small office/home office).
"The WhiteHat Public Advisory site was conceived as a public service to help increase awareness of personal computing dangers and risks." said
Rosaleen Citron, CEO at WhiteHat Inc. "Many of the Internet security problems that Corporations experience are rooted in attacks from insecure
home computers. It is our mandate to assist not only the corporate world but to help the computing public make informed decisions about the risks of
home computing."
"The first line of defence against malicious activity on the Internet is Public Awareness," stated Leanne Bucaro, VP Communications at WhiteHat
Inc. "Corporations have IT Departments to keep them apprised of security issues and policies. SOHO's and home users in most cases, have to act
as their own IT department - defending and securing their own internal networks and computers. We want to help make it as easy and straight
forward as possible."
The WhiteHat Public Advisory site contains articles on a range of topics including Viruses, Trojans and Worms, Child Safety on the Internet,
Identity Theft, Security at Home, Whackers (Wireless Hackers) and Biometrics - to name a few. Free downloads of Personal Firewalls are also
available at the site.
"Security is not a product or a one-time solution - it is an on-going process. The first step in that process is Public Awareness and education. We're
pleased at the response of the media and their willingness to cover stories about IT Security issues. Knowledge is key when dealing with an invisible
intruder," added Bucaro.
