Information Security Management : Learning from Leading Organizations

With the dramatic increase in computer interconnectivity & the popularity of the Internet, the ultimate success of many of these efforts depends on an organization's ability to protect the integrity, privacy, & availability of data & systems. The information must be readily available with few disruptions in the operation of computer & telecommunications systems. While many factors contribute to information security deficiencies at federal agencies, the problem is that senior officials have not established a framework for reducing security risks associated with their operations. This report studies organizations that have superior security programs to identify practices that could be adopted by federal agencies.Brock, Jack L., Jr. is the author of 'Information Security Management : Learning from Leading Organizations', published 2000 under ISBN 9780788189982 and ISBN 0788189980.
