Unlike some other reproductions of classic texts (1) We have not
used OCR(Optical Character Recognition), as this leads to bad
quality books with introduced typos. (2) In books where there are
images such as portraits, maps, sketches etc We have endeavoured to
keep the quality of these images, so they represent accurately the
original artefact. Although occasionally there may be certain
imperfections with these old texts, we feel they deserve to be made
available for future generations to enjoy.
Information Risk and Security explains the complex and diverse
sources of risk for any organization and provides clear guidance
and strategies to address these threats before they happen, and to
investigate them, if and when they do. Edward Wilding focuses
particularly on internal IT risk, workplace crime, and the
preservation of evidence, because it is these areas that are
generally so mismanaged. There is advice on: c preventing computer
fraud, IP theft and systems sabotage c adopting control and
security measures that do not hinder business operations but which
effectively block criminal access and misuse c securing information
- in both electronic and hard copy form c understanding and
countering the techniques by which employees are subverted or
entrapped into giving access to systems and processes c dealing
with catastrophic risk c best-practice for monitoring and securing
office and wireless networks c responding to attempted extortion
and malicious information leaks c conducting covert operations and
forensic investigations c securing evidence where computer misuse
occurs and presenting this evidence in court and much more. The
author's clear and informative style mixes numerous case studies
with practical, down-to-earth and easily implemented advice to help
everyone with responsibility for this threat to manage it
effectively. This is an essential guide for risk and security
managers, computer auditors, investigators, IT managers, line
managers and non-technical experts; all those who need to
understand the threat to workplace computers and information
systems.
* Shortlisted for the RSL Christopher Bland Prize * Honest,
intelligent and unsentimental, Patient 1 is a startling
self-portrait written with wit and vulnerability, and a unique
testament to the power of hope in the face of illness. Charlotte
Raven had never heard of Huntington's Disease when, in her
mid-thirties, she discovered that her father was suffering from the
illness. Life for her and her young family would never be the same
again. Patient 1 is her brutally candid account of coming to terms
with this inherited neurodegenerative disease, which can manifest
at any time in life for people who carry the faulty gene. As the
illness began to take hold of Raven's body, mind and memory, she
began to write. She wrote like her life depended on it - and in
many ways she believed it did. Frank and fearless, Patient 1 is an
act of self-preservation and a kind of reckoning: with the illness,
with the person she once was, with the person she is now. In an
afterword, Raven's doctor Ed Wild - one of the country's leading
experts in Huntington's - explains how doctors and patients like
Charlotte are working together in the hope of one day eliminating
this disease altogether.
'Searingly honest and important' RACHEL CLARKE Honest, intelligent
and unsentimental, Patient 1 is a startling self-portrait written
with wit and vulnerability, and a unique testament to the power of
hope in the face of illness. Charlotte Raven had never heard of
Huntington's Disease when, in her mid-thirties, she discovered that
her father was suffering from the illness. Life for her and her
young family would never be the same again. Frank and fearless,
this is her memoir of coming to terms with this inherited
neurodegenerative disease and its impact on her body, mind and
memory. It is at once an act of self-preservation and a kind of
reckoning: with the illness, with the person she once was and with
the person she is now. In an afterword, Raven's doctor Ed Wild -
one of the country's leading experts in Huntington's - explains how
doctors and patients like Charlotte are working together in the
hope of one day eliminating this disease altogether. 'Insightful,
frank and often moving...Raven writes with humour...and no small
amount of courage' Guardian Shortlisted for the RSL Christopher
Bland Prize 2022
