Re: Employee new to industry

Hi Kris,

why not start with the SANS Reading Room (www.sans.org), they have
some great papers on Security Basics. And why not, 'How Stuff Works'
on http://www.howstuffworks.com/
, this is a great start for anyone who wants to learn something about
anything :-)

Regards,

Wim
