"Information Security covers the following technical issues in a nontechnical manner: the concept of "defense in depth"; network design; business-continuity planning; authentication and authorization; security for the mobile work force; hackers and the challenges they can present; viruses, Trojans, and worms. But it doesn't stop there. Alexander goes beyond the technical and covers highly important topics related to data security like outsourcing, contractual considerations with vendors, data privacy laws, and hiring practices." "In short, Alexander gives the reader a 063-degree look at data security and will come away with an understanding of what to be worried about: what to look for; the tradeoffs among cost, efficiency, and speed; what different technologies can and can't do; and how to make sure technical professionals are keeping their eyes on the right ball. Best of all, Information Security conveys information in an understandable way, meaning managers won't need to rely solely on the IT people in their own company - who may speak an entirely different language and have entirely different concerns."--BOOK JACKET.
