Information Nation: Seven Keys to Information Management Compliance Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I have often found it difficult to engage top IT management with executive management and legal in a comprehensive information management program that can include records management, imaging, document management, and so on. This book provides an easy to read framework for looking at these issues from each of these different perspectives as well as those of Risk Management. In essence, the book provides a set of comfortable "corrective lenses" that let each of these entities share a common vision for the integrity of the organization's information compliance responsibilities.
The authors include many anecdotal narratives in each chapter. These are highlighted with grey background and feature case studies of companies that did or did not manage their information properly and the results of their actions. These break up the chapters nicely and help make the reading go more quickly. The reports of both companies and individuals having been punished will certainly catch the attention of many top executives.
The book is filled with practical steps to get your company's information management compliance program successfully underway. It is easy to read and a great book to share. Highly recommended for anyone involved in Records Management or Risk Management.

Information Security : Principles and Practice Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)This text is an excellent introduction to the popular, important subjects of computer and network security, and is the best such text that I have yet seen. Professor Stamp offers clarity of presentation and a fluid, conversational style. There is an nice balance between comprehensive coverage and detailed analysis. Overall, I really like the structural organization, selection of topics, breadth of coverage, and level of difficulty. No special prerequisites are required to comprehend the basic ideas. However, readers with technical backgrounds will find a lot of material to challenge them. There are an abundance of illustrative figures, nice examples within the body of the text, and a wealth of good problems at the end of each chapter. The author provides excellent references for further study. Appendices delve into details concerning mathematical underpinnings and networking details.
The book is divided into four main parts: cryptography, access control, protocols, and software. The cryptography section introduces fascinating historical vignettes, then explores details of modern block and stream ciphers. The author includes an excellent chapter on cryptanalysis. He provides specific examples, using mathematics and Boolean logic. The access control section explains issues of policy and implementation, regarding authentication and authorization. The protocols section discusses specific mechanisms for secure exchange of confidential information. The final section describes management of software flaws and related security issues.
