Product Description

Review

"This account of the rise of cyber crime has useful lessons for managers.... Kathleen Sindell argues that internet security is a serious management issue, and her book, Safety Net, is designed to be both a wake up call and a handbook to help managers get the right policies in place." (Financial Times, June 19, 2002)

"...the clarity of concepts, abundance of resources and jargon–free language really do make me recommend this book..." (M2 Best Books, 30 August 2002)

First Sentence
Internet-based enterprises that suffer security breaches usually experience monetary and production losses, as well as a loss of confidence that can lead to customer defections and reduced sales; for some companies, just one security breach can mean the end of the business. Read the first page

5.0 out of 5 stars Gain an understanding of the potential threats to your Web-based business , 7 Oct 2006
By Kathleen Sindell "EZWriter" (Alexandria, VA) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
Safety Net outlines a number of potential threats to online businesses such as fraud, sabotage, espionage, piracy or identity theft, and it notes that all manner of organizations are candidates for intruders, whether they be business enterprises, not-for-profit organizations or government agencies.

One chapter is entitled "the insecure employee" and looks at how the computer systems of enterprises are assaulted by insiders. Indeed, it points out that in some cases employees can unwittingly access, modify, and erase proprietary data or disclose sensitive information.

Safety net recognizes that security breaches are costly both in terms of hard costs such as monetary and productivity losses; but also in terms of public relations where damage is expressed through customer and reputation losses.

The threats can involve not just online financial fraud. Companies can also experience theft of proprietary information and corporate secrets. One section, for example, looks at intellectual property security or digital rights management.

The whole purpose of the book is to make the reader aware of the potential threats that exist. It aims to provide practical solutions to counter those online security threats as it runs through prevention, detection and recovery counter-measures. It lists a top ten of common mistakes that organizations make, such as failing to install updates or patches when security holes are found. This book also deals with how to undertake security risk assessments for your organization and how to create an effective security policy.
