Résumé

Security is a critical concern for every company, organization, and institution, regardless of its size or activity. In this timely book, leading security and privacy expert Thomas J. Parenty demystifies computer and network security for nontechnical managers--taking them beyond hackers, firewalls, and virus protection to outline a holistic approach to information security that promotes business growth. Drawing from more than 20 years of experience in the computer security and cryptography fields, Parenty introduces the Trust Framework, a unique and straightforward approach to developing and implementing a corporate security process.

The Trust Framework is based on two core principles: 1) every technology choice must be closely linked to a company's overall mission and specific business activities, and 2) a company needs to show its partners and customers why they should have trust in their electronic business transactions. Digital Defense guides managers in implementing security solutions that both protect their firms' current digital assets and pave the way for future business innovation. Thomas J. Parenty formerly worked for the National Security Agency and consults to many corporate and government organizations about information security and privacy issues.
