Synopsis

How safe is your information? Recent events show that commercial, personal and sensitive information is very hard to keep secure, and some estimates point to 2007 as being the worst year on record for data loss. As breaches in information security continue to make headline news, it is becoming increasingly clear that technological solutions are not the only answer. Research conducted in 2007 suggests that at least 80% of data leakages are caused by staff rather than IT systems (source: Financial Times/Forrester Research, Nov-07). It is clear therefore that Information Security should be viewed as a management function rather than one of IT alone. Here, the authors outline the main management principles designed to help you secure your data, and raise awareness of the issues involved.

Review

In looking for a technical book I look for authoritative writing; clarity of expression; knowledge; easy navigation and the sense that I am not having to work to find the information I need to get a job done. In this book I have found all of those things. Congratulations to the authors. -- A senior Whitehall security specialist (anonymous for obvious reasons) The blurb on the cover indicates it is directed at business and IT managers but it is more likely to be of use to the worker who has to set up the system. To this end, encouragement and tips are given throughout on how to justify implementaton of the systems and controls to management. * IT Training Magazine * If you want an excellent introduction to information security you could do worse than buying a copy of this book. Highly recommended. -- John Hughes * InfoSecReviews *
