Recommendation

Mary Pat McCarthy and Stuart Campbell provide just enough technical information to help you understand the electronic security risks your company faces without falling into a complete course in computer programming and Internet data transmission. The authors’ most valuable contribution is their structured plan for evaluating your computer system’s security and creating security architecture. getAbstract directs those who want a more advanced treatment of computer security issues to the book’s two appendices, which review some of the same ground in more detail. This book is an important read for CEOs and an essential resource for anyone responsible for corporate security or risk management.

Take-Aways

  • Internet and computer security issues are a fact of life; take precautions.
  • Every business has unique security needs covering privacy protection, intellectual property protection and anti-theft measures.
  • Internet and computer risk can be evaluated as part of a CEO’s overall risk-management responsibility.
