December's OUCH! is out. For this month's security awareness newsletter we decided to cover Anti-Virus. Guest Editor and malware expect Jacob Williams walks you through exactly what anti-virus is, how it works and most importantly its limitations. Ultimately our goal is for people to understand that while anti-virus is an important part of your cyber protection, it cannot detect nor stop everything. You, combined with technology, are the best defense in today's online world. You download and share OUCH! with your friends, family and co-workers and can access it in over 25 different languages.
