NEW YORK, Aug. 6, 2013 /PRNewswire/ -- Author Wendi Finn selects boutique public relations firm Whitegate PR as her agency of record. Wendi Finn, founder of IS Security Solutions, LLC, recently launched her new workbook, "A Beginner's Guide to On-line Security." Her expertise in on-line security has helped her create a workbook that will guide beginners in better understanding the world of technology and security. Please learn more at: http://on-linesecurity.org/About_the_Author.html.

Wendi Finn obtained her undergraduate degree in accounting from The University of Illinois, Chicago and a Masters in Information Systems from Capitol College. She is a CPA registered in the State of Ohio and Illinois and a CISA (Certified IS Auditor). Wendi Finn is an alumnus of Ernst & Young with fourteen years of compliance, security and accounting experience.

In 2004 she founded IS Security Solutions, LLC to assist organizations in control consciousness, security awareness and process improvement. Wendi's experiences include Performing end-to-end process reviews to identify opportunities for operational and security enhancements, ACL data analysis, Security Assessments for various platforms and databases, security configuration assessments and testing for various systems, Business Continuity and Disaster Recovery Plan development, Information Security Policy Development and Review, Physical Security Assessments, and Sarbanes Oxley compliance.

Wendi Finn is the mother of three young boys. Working in the industry of technology security, she understands the risks and threats associated with on-line devices, such as smart phones, tablets and gaming devices.

Why It Matters: Two years ago Finn went up to her boy's bedroom to find the three of them huddled around the computer. She looked over their shoulder and to her shock and horror, they had accessed YouTube©. Prior to this fateful afternoon, the boys had never ventured off the pages she had bookmarked. Without any notes home to the parents, without any education surrounding the risks and threats of the internet, her first grader's music teacher had introduced the class to YouTube©. Here they sat innocently searching for "the milkshake dance."

This was Wendi's wake-up call. She works in the security industry, yet hadn't taken the time to educate her own young children. She thought it was too soon. She thought she had mitigated the risks by teaching them to access bookmarked pages. That was not enough. The world is full of technology and like it or not, our children are being introduced to the internet, social media and gaming without education and often times, without guidance. While explaining the threats and intricacies associated with technology is not easy, Wendi has come to realize it is important. She hopes this workbook will act as a guide for other parents in her situation.
