This timely book examines the ethics and security of information, and the social and organisational issues that surround its use. In considering information ethics, the authors examine the ethical problems caused by the open nature of the internet, the digital divide between its users and non-users, and general information access problems on both sides (from ensuring universal access to restricting access of minors to illicit material). The book further examines system security controls and assessment, cryptography and organisational security policies, and is essential reading for anyone interested in these topics or in information ethics and security generally.
