ASHLAND, OR. -- May 17, 2007 -- Open Door Networks Inc. today announced the "Internet Security for Your Macintosh Top 10 List," a free Web-based listing of the top 10 actions Mac users can take to protect their computers, and the Macintosh community as a whole, on the Internet. The list, at http://www.isfym.com/top10/, supplements Open Door's "Internet Security for Your Macintosh" eBook, isfym.com blog, and DoorStop X Security Suite.
The Macintosh has historically been one of the most secure computers available. Recent market share increases, media spotlight and even Apple's own advertising campaign have combined, however, to focus added attention on Macintosh Internet security. Many Macintosh users, concerned about the Mac's security advantage, are looking for ways to maintain that advantage. Open Door's top 10 list is intended as one such way.
"Open Door Networks provides key Macintosh security products and services," said Alan Oppenheimer, company president and founder. "In light of recent events, we wanted to supplement those offerings by providing the Mac community with a short, simple, straightforward list of ways to further enhance their Mac's security on the Internet."
Like everything else having to do with the Net, security threats and countermeasures will change quickly. Open Door's top 10 list is intended to be dynamic too, with updates announced through its isfym.com blog. Open Door will also be soliciting suggestions for changes and improvements to the list and integrating the list into future product offerings.
