Abstract

With the pervasiveness of IT, security is the Achilles heel of computing. As discussed in the chapter, security efforts have gained attention, but secure systems remain out of reach as organizations struggle to balance market needs, civil liberty demands, and privacy rights. This chapter considers the current state of computer security along with the methods used to both exploit and prevent system infractions. It also relates some of the major legislative activities that seek to address security shortfalls. Finally, it touches on a number of security guidelines that managers should be aware of and possibly exercise to protect critical information assets.
