Klappentext

Google has turned to the National Security Agency for technical assistance in an effort to learn more about the computer network attackers who breached the company s cybersecurity defenses late in 2009, according to a recent NY Times report. National and global security and economic stability are increasingly threatened by the exponential rise in cyber attacks, whether they are mounted by national intelligence services, criminals, or some combination of hackers and state sponsors. Conventional computer security works at the enterprise level, but massively complex infrastructure demands a completely different approach to defeating these attacks. Amoroso s 10 principles offer a way to design national and corporate policies that protect our most crucial systems, our money, and perhaps even our lives. Security managers in every organization urgently need the thought-provoking information this book provides.
