Book Description

September 10, 2001 0849312396 978-0849312397 2nd
Is your e-business secure? Have you done everything you can to protect your enterprise and your customers from the potential exploits of hackers, crackers, and other cyberspace menaces? As we expand the brave new world of e-commerce, we are confronted with a whole new set of security problems. Dealing with the risks of Internet applications and e-commerce requires new ways of thinking about security.
Secure Internet Practices: Best Practices for Securing Systems in the Internet and e-Business Age presents an overview of security programs, policies, goals, life cycle development issues, infrastructure, and architecture aimed at enabling you to effectively implement security at your organization. In addition to discussing general issues and solutions, the book provides concrete examples and templates for crafting or revamping your security program in the form of an Enterprise-Wide Security Program Model, and an Information Security Policy Framework.
Although rich in technical expertise, this is not strictly a handbook of Internet technologies, but a guide that is equally useful for developing policies, procedures, and standards. The book touches all the bases you need to build a secure enterprise. Drawing on the experience of the world-class METASeS consulting team in building and advising on security programs, Secure Internet Practices: Best Practices for Securing Systems in the Internet and e-Business Age shows you how to create a workable security program to protect your organization's Internet risk.

5.0 out of 5 stars Comprehensive, July 30, 2002
By A Customer
This review is from: Secure Internet Practices: Best Practices for Securing Systems in the Internet and e-Business Age (Paperback)
Any manager who lets his technical people build a security program without the rational kind of road map this book offers is asking to be "owned", that is, to be hacked, his Web site defaced, his firm's data trashed. Never, never wade into the muddy waters of cybersecurity without a good plan.

This book is that plan: risk formulas, the nature of the threats, key tenets of a security program, key steps in constructing one, important policies to have, key steps in formulating a policy, key goals in information security, kinds of architecture to consider, kinds of infrastructure that underlie the program, steps in the life cycle for developing a secure system.

Talk about comprehensive. A great way to introduce yourself to security from a high level view or to start building security for your organization.

4.0 out of 5 stars Great book for techies, managers, and execs!, July 30, 2002
This review is from: Secure Internet Practices: Best Practices for Securing Systems in the Internet and e-Business Age (Paperback)
I especially like this book because it gives the IT shop and the security professionals lots of ammunition for getting funding and support from the "business" side of the business. Too often, the business executives don't understand the technology in question, and therefore do not comprehend the extent of the threat to the enterprise. Because this book is written for a "high level" business audience, among others, it presents issues like risk assessment and extent of the threat in ways the average businessman can understand. It even has sections like "Gaining Support" meant to help IT get management and funding on its side, without which the most carefully thought out plan isn't going anywhere, given that it's the executives who have the clout to make things happen in an organization!

5.0 out of 5 stars Distilled e-Commerce "Operational Continuity Suvival Skills", January 14, 2002

geoWIZard (Lawrence, KS United States) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Secure Internet Practices: Best Practices for Securing Systems in the Internet and e-Business Age (Paperback)
Secure Internet Practices is the first of its kind -- a comprehensive overview of strategies, tactics, and approaches needed to protect any organization's digital assets in the brave new world of e-commerce. ....

This research report does an outstanding job of distilling relevant knowledge about practical information security and privacy protection.

It presents distilled insights in an understandable way . . .
Logical organization makes it easier for readers to effectively apply the authors' shared wisdom won from their prior "lessons learned!"

It reinforces my varied experiences over thirty years as a decision support professional concerned with information security and privacy protection.

As a virtual "guest lecturer" for Capella University's
"Cyber Threats to Enterprise Security" (TS5070)
and principle designer of MetroState University's
"Cyber-Crime Fighting" (MISD692) graduate certificate course,
I've found this resource very useful and usable!
