| Résumé : |
Organizations with computer networks, Web sites, and employees carrying laptops and Blackberries face an array of security challenges. Among other things, they need to keep unauthorized people out of the network, thwart Web site hackers, and keep data safe from prying eyes or criminal hands. This book provides a high-level overview of these challenges and more. But it is not for the hard-core IT security engineer who works full time on networks. Instead, it is aimed at the nontechnical executive with responsibility for ensuring that information and assets stay safe and private. Written by a practicing information security officer, Philip Alexander, the book contains the latest information and arms readers with the knowledge they need to make better business decisions. *Information Security: A Manager's Guide to Thwarting Data Thieves and HackerSÔë¬/i> covers the following technical issues in a nontechnical manner: -The concept of defense in depth -Network design -Business-continuity planning -Authentication and authorization -Providing security for your mobile work force -Hackers and the challenges they can present -Viruses, Trojans, and worms But it doesn't stop there. The book goes beyond the technical and covers highly important topics related to data security like outsourcing, contractual considerations with vendors, data privacy laws, and hiring practices. In short, Alexander gives the reader a 360-degree look at data security: What to be worried about; what to look for; the tradeoffs among cost, efficiency, and speed; what different technologies can and can't do; and how to make sure technical professionals are keeping their eyes on the right ball. Best of all, it conveys information in an understandable way, meaning managers won't need to rely solely on the IT people in their own companyÔÇöwho may speak an entirely different language and have entirely different concerns. Hackers and data thieves are getting smarter and bolder every day. *Information Security* is your first line of defense.* * * * * * * ### Review "From issues of security policay standards, to network and DMZ design, to authentication and authorization, to security issues associated with mobile employees, hackers, snoops, viruses, data privacy laws, overseas outsourcing and more, *Information Security* is a complete instruction manual that is as informed as it is informative. Up-to-date, reader-friendly, and comprehensive, *Information Security* is strongly recommended reading for anyone with a management responsibility that includes data security and computer usage, as well as a core addition to professional, corporate, academic, and community library Computer Science & Security reference collections." * Midwest Book Review/Library Bookwatch ### Review "Data security and beyond! I found this book to be an easy read that was an excellent review of a master security checklist. I recommend it to all who are new to security to get the big picture and for seasoned veterans to help you see what you may be missing."
