Information Technology Security Resource for Developing Countries

The World Bank infoDev program has recently published an "Information 
Technology Security Handbook," oriented to the needs of individuals, 
small businesses, governments and system and network administrators in 
developing countries.  The Handbook is now available on-line at the web 
site http://www.infodev-security.net/.

Associated with the handbook is the first of a number of discussion 
forums for communication between developing country network and 
computer users and persons knowledgeable in security in the developed 
world.  It's our hope that the forums can evolve as developing country 
needs are identified and articulated on the web site. Suggestions are 
welcome, and should be sent to contact () infodev-security net.

It would be very much appreciated if the Handbook web site and the 
discussion forum could be brought to the attention of Internet and 
computer users in the developing world.  infoDev hopes that this 
information and the related communications will be a useful tool to 
help developing countries avoid some of the negative effects of the 
misuse of information technology in their development.

(Full disclosure: I am one of the five authors of the Handbook)
