Synopsis

This book presents an up-to-date description of the most important issues relating to EDP-security. The most widespread types of abuse, errors, and accidents are covered as well as the relevant countermeasures. Other topics include: # risk management, i.e., methods which can assist decision-makers to decide what to protect themselves against and the extent of protection needed; # methods for security improvement; # administrative activities which follow from the introduction and maintenance of EDP-security systems; and # legislation relating to the creation, use, and protection of files. The structure of the book and the numerous illuminating examples allow the reader to learn about the subject without using detailed mathematical descriptions (although these descriptions are provided as notes for those interested).
