In the last 12 years we have observed amazing growth of electronic communication. From typical local networks through country-wide systems and business-based distributed processing, we have witnessed widespread implementation of computer-controlled transmissions encompassing almost every aspect of our business and private lives.

Internet and Intranet Security Management: Risks and Solutions addresses issues of information security from the managerial, global point of view. The global approach allows us to concentrate on issues that could be influenced by activities happening on opposite sides of the earth.

Review:

The book should be re-titled

With the cost of over $60 and having a book that can cover so shallow is a 'rip off'. I think the book should be re-titled as `Idiots for Internet Security'. Even the books from IDG Idiot Series cover more in depth than this one. I spent 5 minutes and dropped this book to the bottom of the shelf. Most titles have a discussion of less than a page and some of them are not even relevant - such as `atomicity'. To be fair, the book should having a warning sign- `Strictly for non technical people'.

Review:

Great book for multi national CIO's

Mainly concentrates on the global aspect of Network Security issues. Very good for people writitng policies for the enterprise. Helps CIO's to get a perspective on what could go wrong in their geographically scattered network and provides insights into how to address those issues.
