%T   "The Basics of Computer Security"
 
Essentially, this series of three short video tapes contains the rough
equivalent of three introductory chapters of a basic security text.  There is
an introduction to computer security in general, an introduction to application
security, and an introduction to application security review or audit.  The
material is presented at a level suitable to the user, or perhaps a non-
technical manager.
 
The format is the standard talking head interspersed with slides.  The material
on the slides is reprinted in booklets packaged with the tapes.  The content is
generally reliable, although sometimes the advice on minor matters is
questionable.  Overall organization is good, but some sections are poorly
planned and repetitive.
