What is a newsletter?

The Stay Smart Online Alert Service includes four specific types of reports:

• Newsletters
• Fact Sheets
• Alerts
• Advisories

Each of these report formats have a different purpose and significance.  By understanding the purpose of each report format, you can best ensure that you receive the type of information in the most timely manner for your requirements.

Stay Smart Online Newsletters are produced monthly and may include:

• general information about the Stay Smart Online Alert Service
• information about trends in Internet based attacks
• quick tips or reminders about how to improve your online security
• general information about LOW risk threats

Newsletters are not time critical and are aimed at raising awareness about security issues in general rather than addressing a specific software bug or threat.
