Your sales person was lucky.
I would have kicked him out of our offices sooo fast he'd wish we had speed
bumps ;-)

]couple of minutes. It was an honest mistake, but he got the sale quite
]quickly after that. :-)

Having a sales person infected with the latest worm while they were

their email at StarBucks, and then plugging into a client's internal
network
isn't the best way to close a sale......

I think Microsoft has one of the best real basic security sites around.
http://www.microsoft.com/security/default.mspx
I think the "Home users" part of it may be real useful for your sales
people.
Also, this is an initiative by ISECOM for high school students. May help
those who want to know a little bit more :)
Good luck

Does anyone know a good general paper online on security basics that I
could pass down to my company's sales people? I just need something
really basic explaining things like the purpose of a firewall, IDS,
DMZ, encryption, and penetration test. I just want something that I
can give to the sales manager to give out to the non-tech people.
Thanks.
