A note on age. The book was written in 2020 and is kept online unchanged, like the rest of the archive. The habits it describes (good passwords, a password manager, two-factor authentication, backups, updates) have aged well. The specific products and screenshots have not.

What is inside

Eight chapters, in German:

  1. Passwörter
  2. Multi-Faktor-Authentifizierung
  3. Backups
  4. Updates
  5. Firewall & Antiviren-Software
  6. Festplattenverschlüsselung
  7. Privatsphäre & personenbezogene Daten
  8. Sicherheitsbewusstsein (Awareness)

If you would rather read a single topic first, the blog archive covers several of them in more detail.
