Get to grips with key ISO27000 and information security vocabulary with this indispensable, concise pocket guide!

Information security is of crucial importance to your business. If you don’t know the difference between a cookie and a worm, or between war-chalking and digital watermarking, you are sure to find this guide enlightening. The strength of the book is that it is a combined glossary, enabling you to find explanations of geek slang, procedural language and acronyms all in one place. The combined glossary is a revised edition of the popular Dictionary of Information Security Terms, and this new edition has been able to draw on the definitions provided in ISO/IEC 27000:2009 – Security Techniques – Information security management systems – Overview and vocabulary.

What's new?

Further definitions are sourced from ISO/IEC Guide 73:2002 to provide you with authoritative explanations of those information security terms that are used across the ISO framework. The combined glossary has taken account of an important change on the information security scene, and contains some new acronyms and definitions from the Payment Card Industry Data Security Standard (PCI DSS).
