This cross-disciplinary book is designed to help users quickly become current on what has become a fundamental business issue. This book covers the entire range of best security practices—obtaining senior management commitment, defining information security goals and policies, transforming those goals into a strategy for monitoring intrusions and compliance, and understanding legal implications.
