The Secure Online Business

This book explains how technical and operational risks in information security are escalating sharply, with potentially serious strategic consequences.

Hackers, viruses, fraud and denial of service are becoming genuine problems for organisations of all sizes: at a time when companies are expected to have information continuously available for customers, suppliers and partners. In a 24/7 world, the penalties for any downtime are severe: not only causing commercial loss but creating a crisis of confidence in the reliability and security of an organisation. Sadly, this is widely recognised by those who wish to attack an organisation’s operation, either with criminal intent or for sheer malevolent satisfaction.
