Description ?This book contains some of the most up-to-date information available anywhere on a wide variety of topics related to Techno Security.
As you read the book, you will notice that the authors took the approach of identifying some of the risks, threats, and vulnerabilities
and then discussing the countermeasures to address them. Some of the topics and thoughts discussed here are as new as tomorrow?s headlines,
whereas others have been around for decades without being properly addressed. I hope you enjoy this book as much as we have enjoyed working
