Information Security For Managers (Paperback)

Information Systems Have Improved Over The Years To Become More Effective In Collecting And Rendering Information For Consumers, Although These Improvements Have Been Accompanied By Increases In Both Frequency And Sophistication Of Attacks Against Them. The Impacts From Attacks Against Companies Are Significant, And Managers Are Responsible For Their Organizations' Security. Failures Can Cause Significant Losses To Companies And Their Suppliers And Clients, And May Cost Managers Their Jobs, And May Even Possibly Lead To Legal Liabilities That Are Adjudicated Against Them. This Textbook Takes A Different Approach Than Most Texts On The Subject, Which Are Organized Topically. Pedagogically, Information Security For Managers Utilizes An Incremental Development Method Called Knowledge Scaffolding –A Proven Educational Technique For Learning Subject Matter Thoroughly By Reinforced Learning Through An Elaborative Rehearsal Process. This New Resource Includes Coverage On Threats To Confidentiality, Integrity, And Availability, As Well As Countermeasures To Preserve These. The Textbook Also Draws Extensively From The Latest Applied Research And Development, Rather Than Simply Rehashing Materials And Topics That Are In Nearly All Of The Extant Textbooks And Popular Reading Materials. Instructor Resources Include Answers To The End-Of-Chapter Questions And A Powerpoint Image Bank That Contains Key Images From The Text.

多年來，資訊系統在收集和呈現資訊給消費者方面已經得到改善，儘管這些改進伴隨著對它們的攻擊頻率和複雜程度的增加。對企業的攻擊影響重大，管理者對其組織的安全負有責任。失敗可能導致企業及其供應商和客戶遭受重大損失，並可能使管理者失去工作，甚至可能面臨法律責任。這本教科書與大多數相關主題的教材不同，它採用了一種不同的方法。在教學上，面向管理者的資訊安全利用了一種稱為知識脊梁的漸進式發展方法，這是一種通過反覆學習和詳細的排練過程來徹底學習主題的教育技術。這個新的資源包括對機密性、完整性和可用性威脅的涵蓋，以及保護這些威脅的對策。教科書還廣泛借鑒了最新的應用研究和開發成果，而不僅僅是重複現有教材和流行閱讀材料。教師資源包括章末問題的答案和一個包含教科書關鍵圖像的Powerpoint圖像庫。
