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@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

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.
