Hi saxel-ga,
As you may already know, different types of professionals have
different information needs regarding security which can range from
basic terminology to how one can protect their own systems. Of course,
there is no short supply of technically geared individuals who want to
learn the ins and outs of specific network configurations, software,
and operating systems.

can be later applied to a business situation.
