As managements grapple with the ever-rising tide of changes brought about by new opportunities in IT, there is a feeling that traditional approaches to security need to be reviewed. A background of increased opportunities for fraudsters and criminals of various kinds is pressing managers to find quickly a way of understanding and coming to terms with the new order (disorder) of things. This book aims to present the problems of managing information securely in a modern organization which is making extensive use of information technology. The emphasis is on demonstrating that solutions to security are to be found in adopting appropriate management strategies and mechanisms, rather than merely seeking technical solutions.
