Résumé

Once scoffed at during the dot.com years, the formerly staid, old, "brick and mortar" companies have now fully recognized and implemented the value of the Internet. Their new online infrastructure allows them to reach customers in new ways, open new markets, and reap new rewards. "Brick and mortar" is now "brick and click", with e-tailing and e-commerce standard operating procedures for global business. But for all its new benefits, e-commerce also unleashes a host of new risks and issues on the business world. While hackers, data theft, espionage, and cyberterrorism threaten a company's e-business infrastructure from without, online payment and information systems present auditing challenges from within.

Control and Security of E- Commerce provides expert guidance on how to protect and monitor electronic commerce. Using nontechnical, user-friendly language, this book lays out the components and risks of an e-commerce system. It also details security solutions and auditing techniques for an e-commerce environment. Topics covered include:

Legal issues related to e-commerce
Information security
Symmetric and asymmetric cryptosystems
Digital signatures and other authentication techniques
Protection against viruses, Denial of Service attacks, back doors, and Trojan programs
Securing UNIX and Windows server environments
Auditing an e-commerce application

It is the job of the auditor to ensure that strong controls are built into electronic applications, and to mitigate the inherent risks involved. Contrat and Security of E-Commerce offers a structured approach for accomplishing these essential goals. Tools include controls for securing financial and other confidential transactions, a COSO-compliant audit approach, and risk/control tables and checklists. These tools, along with the clearly organized presentation of the material, will maximize the effciency and effectiveness of audits and security reviews.

As business reliance on e-commerce increases, so does the intricacy of the problems confronting e-business professionals. Internal and external auditors, information security professionals, network administrators, controllers, and CFOs will all appreciate the practical, results-oriented approach of Control and Security of E-Commerce, as both they and their companies benefit from this timely, useful resource.
