Description
Trojans, Worms, and Spyware provides practical, easy to understand, and readily usable advice to help organizations to improve their security
and reduce the possible risks of malicious code attacks. Despite the global downturn, information systems security remains one of the
more in-demand professions in the world today. With the widespread use of the Internet as a business tool, more emphasis is being placed
on information security than ever before. To successfully deal with this increase in dependence and the ever growing threat of virus
and worm attacks, Information security and information assurance (IA) professionals need a jargon-free book that addresses the practical
aspects of meeting new security requirements.
This book provides a comprehensive list of threats, an explanation of what they are
and how they wreak havoc with systems, as well as a set of rules-to-live-by along with a system to develop procedures and implement security
training. It is a daunting task to combat the new generation of computer security threats – new and advanced variants of Trojans, as
well as spyware (both hardware and software) and “bombs” – and Trojans, Worms, and Spyware will be a handy must-have reference for the
computer security professional to battle and prevent financial and operational harm from system attacks.
Audience:
IT Computer and Information Security professionals, Security Managers, network administrators
