Description
Information is a vital corporate resource but it can also be a liability. This book explains in practical, jargon-free terms how an organization can cost-effectively reduce the risk to information stored, processed and transmitted by their computer systems. Business managers and computer operators alike should find that every possible means of data is explored and can be readily applied and passed on to all staff. This new edition discusses the latest developments in the field and includes coverage of legislation and computer crime. The book addresses business issues as well as technical ones, discusses each specific risk and gives advice on protection policies.
