8. Second security essay. I have just opened a small software business in Dunedin with two other employees: a programmer and an administrator. We use three Macs in our office. One for administration and two for doing client work, mostly HTML and JavaScript. Sometimes we let out kids play on the machines. Write about 300 words on what you, an Apple security adviser, would recommend for keeping our system secure. Make your report give a priority to the security concerns. That is, start with the most important stuff and say why this is first. Keep your writing formal, correct and well set out. You can use graphics if you like but you don't have to.
