As more and more businesses
today are relying heavily on computers, the issue of security is critical.
And, with the number of
employees operating from mobile offices and using portable devices for network and email
access, security risks have also increased--making valuable systems even more vulnerable
to attacks. Laptop theft also puts sensitive, unencrypted information at risk. Each year
the number of significantly destructive security incidents--widely-publicized virus
infections and denial of service attacks--is escalating, so how can companies protect
their information effectively and economically? The answers can be found inside Access
Denied.
This highly practical
resource provides hands-on tools and strategies for selecting the right technology
solutions for creating a successful and cost-effective security policy. This book helps
bridge the gap between business and technology--addressing both the need for profit and
the requirement to invest in stronger security technology. Covering everything from data
encryption methods to distribution list management, the book addresses key security risks
associated with email, Web sites, portable devices, ecommerce, networks and computer
systems. Through use of real-world examples the expert authors explain concepts,
terminology, and related business issues, and offer solid security recommendations for
small- medium-, and large-sized companies. Appropriate for both technology-implementers
and the non-IT audience this book is ideal for any executive or business owner wanting to
secure their company's information, form an efficient response team, and maintain a
competitive edge in today's fast-moving, high-tech environment.
