The Security Mentor provides "advice for normal people about computer and information security from Beryllium Sphere(R) LLC." The blog is a client resource and marketing tool for Beryllium Sphere LLC, a computer security consulting company in Redmond, Washington, USA. Fred Wamsley is the owner and chief blogger. His company specializes in serving small businesses, especially the SOHO (small office/home office) market. Fred describes who he is trying to reach with his blog, saying: 'My target reader is someone motivated enough to do online research but unwilling to become a full-fledged nerd. The "computer person by default" at a small business, who becomes the de facto IT department because "s/he knows about those computers", is a perfect example.' [This looks like an excellent site - albeit a direct and effective competitor. It's straightforward, easy to understand writing gets right to the point. As an example, here's an excerpt from the Monday, February 07, 2005 post on Phishing - "Phishing is getting more tricky and insidious. 'Phishing' scams, you'll remember, are when someone sets up a fake web site pretending to be your bank or something else so they can trick you into typing in your banking password. Then they can use the password to loot your account."]
