New computer viruses appear almost daily. They, and other software menaces, represent an ongoing threat to the security of information systems. This book gives an overview of the problem and an explanation of how organizations can deal with it, both from a managerial and a technical point of view.
The emergence of a new type of threat to computer security - the computer virus - has attracted much attention from the media, researchers, and entrepreneurs. It is clear that computer viruses and other software menaces, like their biological counterparts, are here to stay. This poses a particular problem for organizations which use computers - how to minimize the threat to their information systems without unduly disrupting their functioning. This book presents a concise overview of the problem and a framework for dealing with computer viruses in organizations. Managers are the target audience and will find that the book offers more than the usual technical information. Advice is offered primarily on the problem of computer security in general. There are also technical appendices and an insight into the biological analogy.
