WAUKEE, IOWA, USA – October 4, 2005: Business is moving swiftly towards digitization. Organizations of tomorrow are increasingly digital organizations. With electronic information becoming the lifeline of business, devices that are not protected or are inadequately protected become the backdoor for criminals to launch attacks. Phishing attacks, fraud, spyware, identity theft, denial of service attacks can compromise the security of business faster than administrators can keep up with the challenges of patch management. The Art of Information Security is a strategic blueprint document that provides the framework to defend a digital business.
New technologies introduce new risks. For example, today, the wireless fabric and Web services are emerging as the weak links in business infrastructure. It is no less a threat than those from the Internet.
Security is only as strong as your weakest link and this work is about processes that can be followed to establish “active and passive safeguards” to protect vital corporate information assets. The Art of Information Security is a “must read” for anyone seriously involved in establishing a broad framework for the security of an organization’s information infrastructure and its digital assets.
"When you talk with Pabrai about security, his energy and passion fill the room. With two decades of hands-on experience with Who’s Who clients across many verticals, he is the security master," said Pradeep Kar, Microland, Chairman and Managing Director.
TARGET AUDIENCE FOR THE ART OF INFORMATION SECURITY:
Compliance Manager, CIO, CTO, Implementation Team for Information Security, Consultants, IT Service Providers, practitioners and allied professionals in the health care, social services and insurance industries who have access to sensitive records.
