Viruses. Identity theft. Corporate espionage. National secrets compromised. Can anyone promise security in our digital world?
The man who introduced cryptography to the boardroom says no. But in this fascinating read, he shows us how to come closer by developing security measures in terms of context, tools, and strategy. Security is a process, not a product - one that system administrators and corporate executives alike must understand to survive.
