Securing E-Business Systems

Beschreibung

Securing E-Business Systems takes a pragmatic approach to a highly complex and ever-changing subject-the security of e-business networks and IT systems. With new threats, new dangers, and new capabilities arising virtually daily, keeping systems secure can be a challenge. This book proposes a new approach to e-business security, an approach founded on good management and built-in adaptability. A successful e-business must be capable of managing the myriad risks associated with its growing dependency on information and communications technology by ensuring the continued integrity of its information, processes, and supporting IT infrastructure. Securing E-Business Systems presents a model for a proactive program of security administration that remains constantly alert for new vulnerabilities and capable of rapidly employing safeguards. Timothy Braithwaite presents persuasive reasons why all e-businesses should control and manage IT security just as strictly and as thoughtfully as they would any other component of the company. He also offers methods and ideas that will help managers establish and sustain security management processes and procedures that will outlive the crisis of the moment and adapt to the changing security needs of an e-business over time. For managers and executives concerned with the security of their e-business, Securing E-Business Systems offers unparalleled guidance, practical plans, and expert information on all the major issues, including: * Components of an e-business infrastructure and the corresponding areas of greatest risk * Oversight review models to ensure that e-business applications are designed, programmed, integrated, tested, and implemented with risk and security in mind * Tips on justifying the expenditures required to establish and administer a program of effective and efficient e-business security controls * Emerging liability issues that may arise from lack of security * Best practices, sample guidelines, and ready-to-use forms and checklists
