The emergence of a new type of threat to computer security--the
computer virus--has attracted much attention from the media,
researchers, and software producers. Such viruses create sets of
frequently destructive instructions that propagate automatically
throughout entire computer networks. The effects can range from
temporary disruption to wholesale havoc involving huge losses of
data. The problem has been exacerbated more recently by a deluge of
superficial media comment that has sensationalized the topic while
offering little in the way of concrete facts or knowledgeable
guidance. This book is intended to help managers of today's complex
information systems respond to the genuine threat posed by computer
viruses in an informed and efficient manner. It presents a concise
overview of the problem and a detailed strategy for minimizing the
potential risk. It provides a nontechnical explanation of computer
viruses based on a conceptual framework adaptable to the constant
emergence of new kinds of viruses and their antidotes. The book
suggests practical management approaches that are workable within
large-scale, integrated systems including those with ongoing
security and control devices. There are a number of useful
technical appendices, however the book is written to be read and
used by those who may not have a technical background, including
information systems managers, security consultants, and teachers
and advanced students of management interested in information
systems.
