Book Description

March 1994 The Ibm Mcgraw-Hill Series
Information is a vital corporate resource but it can also be a liability. This book explains in practical, jargon-free terms how an organization can cost-effectively reduce the risk to information stored, processed and transmitted by their computer systems. Business managers and computer operators alike should find that every possible means of data is explored and can be readily applied and passed on to all staff. This new edition discusses the latest developments in the field and includes coverage of legislation and computer crime. The book addresses business issues as well as technical ones, discusses each specific risk and gives advice on protection policies.

This review is from: Commonsense Computer Security: Your Practical Guide to Information Protection (The Ibm Mcgraw-Hill Series) (Hardcover)
One of the best books on IT security ever written!

Do you need more info?

Commander Smith manages in 200 odd pages, to get through all important aspects in IT security, without drowning in technical detail and adding staff and physical security to the scene as well.

In my opinion, this should be the first book on IT security read. You'll always get back to it afterwards, even if it is a bit dated today.
