| Consider using your
home computer to monitor you home alarm system and alert you to
any suspicious activity.
Home automation requires a computer system to
manage all the sensors and other devices that you want to
control automatically, including
home alarm system components.
Since many want to have these computers
available on the public internet, so they can be controlled by
cell phones and other devices, computer security becomes
paramount.
The
Computer Security Institute provides education on
information, computer and network security, through conferences,
seminars/training, membership association, newsletter and
publications.
