A practical guide to privacy for companies, managers, and employees. Explains privacy laws and regulations affecting web sites, email, and other aspects of business today.
For more than twenty years, Stephen Cobb has shaped global thinking about information security and data privacy, through books, articles, seminars, and consulting engagements to the Global 1000 and government agencies such as the National Reconnaissance Office and the Federal Trade Commission. Stephen published his first security book in 1992, helping form the Common Body of Knowledge for the Certified Information System Security Professional qualification (CISSP is the only independent standard for security expertise and oversight endorsed by the FTC). His "Privacy for Business: Web Sites and Email" can be found in the offices of most privacy professionals in America.
Stephen is also one of the architects of the Trusted Email Open Standard which has been proposed to the FTC as a solution to the problems of spam and email fraud. In addition to being Senior Vice-President of Research at ePrivacy Group, the pioneering trust technology company that developed SpamSquelcher and Trusted Sender, Stephen teaches post-graduate computer security courses at Norwich University, Vermont, an NSA Center of Academic Excellence in Information Assurance.
