Security Handbook for Small Computer Users
Abstract
The fielding of large numbers of small computers throughout the Air Force has precipitated the need for a small computer security handbook. Unlike traditional large computer systems, small computers are being used extensively by functional users in non-controlled environments. As a result, users of these small systems must be made aware of their security responsibilities in safeguarding the small computer and the data it processes. This handbook highlights small computer security issues and makes users aware of their security responsibilities in using a small computer. Issues include life cycle management, risk analysis, contingency planning, protection of hardware and software, safeguarding sensitive data, computer abuse, appointment of a TASO, TEMPEST integrity, sensitive markings, samples logs. It supersedes A Small Computer Security Handbook published by the Air Force Small Computer/Office Automation Service Organization in 1983.
