Synopsis

The original title of IFIP/Sec'92, "From Small Systems to Large," was chosen, not to de-emphasize the continuing importance of security in large computer systems, but to direct attention to the increasing importance of smaller computer systems and their related security and control concerns. Trends contributing to the increased importance of small systems include: downsizing - the replacement of large central systems with smaller distributed systems, increasingly powerful microcomputers, the increasing sophistication and acceptance of LANs, end-user computing, and the devolution of IS management to functional management. The final title, "The Need for International Cooperation", derives from what became the central topic of discussion. The mix of papers in this book is both managerial and technical. Sections with relatively greater managerial content are: Security Management, IS Audit, and Computer Crime. The more technical sections are Database Security, Access Control and Detection, UNIX Security, Network Security, and Cryptography. Most papers have managerial, organisational and technical dimensions.
