Automatically Receive the Latest Security Information

With the daily changing face of security, it is important to keep current with the latest security threats and defenses. One way to keep current is to use RSS (Really Simple Syndication), which automatically distributes Web content from a variety of different formats (blogs, news headlines, audio, video, etc.) in a standardized format and aggregates the content. A user subscribes to a Web site and then the content is “pushed” to their computer to be viewed using an RSS reader or Web browser. This alleviates the need for visiting multiple sites. In this project, you will use the Google Reader aggregator.

1. Open a Web browser and enter the Web address www.google.com/reader.

The location of content on the Internet may change without warning. If you are no longer able to access the site through the preceding Web address, then use a search engine to search for “Google Reader”.

2. If you already have a Google account, log in. If you do not have an account, click Create an account and create a Google account.

3. Open a new window in your Web browser (for example, in Internet Explorer, press CTRL+T).

4. Enter the URL googleonlinesecurity.blogspot.com, which is a blog about security information from Google.

The location of content on the Internet may change without warning. If you are no longer able to access the site through the preceding Web address, then use a search engine to search for “Google Online Security Blog”.

5. Click the +Google icon.

6. Click Subscribe to this feed.

7. Click Add to Google Reader.

8. You are now subscribed to this RSS feed.

9. Click Sign out and exit Google.

10. Log back in to Google. You will see your security blog RSS feeds that you can read.

11. Log out of Google.

12. Close all windows.
