What's Your PC Security Savvy?

April 2009 - Leading security software vendor PC Tools is just released the "Security Savvy" test in response to increasing concern that the "digitally active," particularly Gen Y, are easy targets for cybercriminals. PC Tools is warning that social networking and phishing threats are becoming progressively more sophisticated and prevalent, requiring the digitally active to be both technically and security savvy. To help consumers identify their security vulnerability, PC Tools encourages consumers to take the "Security Savvy" test and find out how to stay better protected.

In conjunction with the launch of this initiative, PC Tools is donating 10,000 units of behavioral based security point solutions and packages to TechSoup, an international technology resource center for nonprofit organizations, based in San Francisco.

"Many would assume that Gen Y are too savvy to be fooled by online threats, but just because they are tech savvy doesn't mean that they are security savvy—and this is a very important distinction. Recent threats such as Koobface, a delivery threat from a well known courier company, Internet Banking Software Failure and compromised PDF readers are just a few of the many dangers facing internet users," said Michael Greene, Vice President Product Strategy, PC Tools.Read more
