About this title

Synopsis

Learn to stop digital espionage-before it happens! Manage your way to security in an increasingly interconnected world. Network data has become increasingly valuable in today's public and private sectors, as has become painfully clear to those in Fortune 500 companies and to those in top branches of government who store information digitally. But exactly how safe is the informaton that is accessible from a network? According to the expert authors of Defending Your Digital Assets Against Hackers, Crackers, Spies & Thieves and RSA Security, the most trusted name in e-security, NO data is safe. In fact, digital espionage, theft and destruction occur every day, and most attacks go undetected until it is too late. This groundbreaking new work discusses the growing vulnerabilities due to interconnectivity and the importance of protecting digital information. It offers detailed explanations of how and why attacks in progress, and quickly recover business operations. This is the first title from RSA Press, the new publishing group from RSA Security. RSA Security helps organizations build secure, trusted foundations for e-business through its two-factor authentication, encryption and public key management systems.
