Résumé

This comprehensive and timely resource examines security risks related to information technology (IT) outsourcing, clearly showing how to recognize, evaluate, minimize, and manage these risks. Unique in its scope, this single volume offers complete coverage of the whole range of IT security services and fully treats the IT security concerns of outsourcing. The book helps professionals deepen their knowledge of the tangible and intangible costs and benefits associated with outsourcing IT and information security (IS) functions.

Moreover, it enables practitioners to determine which IS functions should be performed by a third party, better manage third-party relationships, and ensure that any functions handed over to a third party meet good security standards. From discussions on the IT outsourcing marketplace and the pros and cons of the IT outsourcing decision process, to a look at IT and IS service provider relationships and trends affecting outsourcing, this essential reference provides insight into how organizations are addressing some of the more thorny issues of IT and security outsourcing.
