Business Manager's Guide to Cybersecurity

The success and growth of the Internet has not only created an additional sales and marketing outlet for businesses, large and small, but it has also created new security risks. To help businesses of all sizes better protect themselves and their assets from crime and abuse, homeland defense expert Dan Verton has compiled a non-technical guide full of practical management strategies. You'll examine what threatens your business, what you can do to prevent those threats from materializing, and how you can prepare for any situation. You'll also find practical guidance on key issues, including how to respond to an incident of cybercrime, how to create a culture of security in your organization, what you need to know about privacy and corporate governance, why outsourcing overseas could be a mistake, how to make the best use of your IT budget to improve security, and more. Special features include a foreword by Mary Ann Davidson, Chief Security Officer at Oracle Corporation, a basic cybersecurity glossary, and laws and regulations every manager should know.Verton, Dan is the author of 'Business Manager's Guide to Cybersecurity ', published 2007 under ISBN 9780865871649 and ISBN 0865871647.
