Security is one of the most significant issues facing the owners
and users of computer systems in the Internet age, and recent years
have convincingly illustrated that the problem is increasing in
both scale and cost.
Computer Insecurity: Risking the System approaches its topic
from the perspective of vulnerability a" how can your system be
attacked? Covering technical issues and human factors, the
comprehensively researched text makes reference to numerous
real-life security incidents, which help to provide persuasive
practical evidence of the problems and the impacts that result.
Key issues covered include:
- the problem of computer insecurity
- the need to raise security awareness
- common failings that compromise protection
- the attack and exploitation of systems
- considerations in responding to the threats
Presented in clear and lucid terms, the discussion is invaluable
reading for all business and computing professionals who wish for
an overview of the issues rather than a shopping list of the
security measures available.
