Computer Security within Organisations

From basic concepts to the problems which technology itself can bring, and the complexities of legislation and standards development, this book guides the reader through a discussion of computer security issues from organizational and management perspectives. While the technical detail is kept to a minimum, the text contains numerous illustrative examples to provide an understanding of how operational issues affect the secure usage of computers and information systems. A key issue is the recognition that management of personnel involved with computer technology is just as important as managing the equipment itself, if not more so. The book is written on the assumption that the reader has no prior knowledge of computers.
