One of the fastest growing issues in Information Technology (IT) is the increasing need for security, both internal and external, to protect valuable enterprise data and resources. IT security is a multifaceted field that includes both technical and behavioral components. Managers must have at least a general understanding of both for effective security. Adding further complexity is the diversity of technologies that need protection, ranging from operating systems to mobile applications and databases to networking hardware. The objective of this book is to assist managers in understanding the role of IT Security in their enterprise. The book defines security from an organizational perspective, then builds upon that by discussing issues related to low-level technologies and further builds by discussing higher level management issues like security policy, secure application development and penetration testing strategies. Each chapter demonstrates concepts and underscores what issues can occur and what strategies can be applied at each level to implement a successful IT security plan. The book concludes with case studies and integrated strategies for implementing security program for an organization, as well as highlighting current trends in security and future security and information assurance concerns that are on the horizon for organizations.
