About this title

Review

What do you do when your business computer systems go down? If you don't have a contingency plan to get things up and running again quickly, you stand a good chance of losing your business completely. How do you protect sensitive information from malevolent viruses or industrial espionage? The loss of a single document outlining a new product or marketing campaign could cost you dearly. And how can you possibly handle Internet-induced threats to your computer systems and data, such as viruses or hacking? This book is the first to be published in the UK that addresses these issues. It covers the full gamut of IT-related problems that any company might face, providing helpful hints and advice across the board. The early chapters consider contingency planning and data backup--both vital for resolving large- and small-scale problems. Later chapters address topics like passwording, data encryption, e-mail security, power supply continuity and other areas which, if not handled properly, can precipitate anything from fairly minor to really quite serious data losses. --Sandra Vogel
