Abstract

In the last several years, the number of personal computers (PCs) in offices worldwide has skyrocketed. In fact, some businesses now have PC bases in the thousands, a fact which makes company security officers' jobs a nightmare. Much of the existing literature addresses security in general, or security in large mainframe environments. The goal of this paper is to present potential security problems for stand-alone and networked PCs, and to offer guidelines to prevent or avoid these threats to PC security.
