Topic: Information security



  
 [No title]
However, it is important that OMB develop better sources of information and staff expertise for proactively and systematically overseeing the overall design and effectiveness of agency information security programs.
However, information security has taken on new significance as both reliance on computers and vulnerabilities associated with networked systems have increased.
Similarly, most of the security program summaries were very brief, and, in most cases, they only described very general agency goals and policies, with little information on the effectiveness of the program or on planned improvements.

She's also the author of the now-classic Cryptography and Data Security (Addison-Wesley, 1982) and a professor of computer science at Georgetown University.
Dorothy E. Denning, a pioneer in computer security, provides in this book a framework for understanding and dealing with information-based threats: computer break-ins, fraud, sabotage, espionage, piracy, identity theft, invasions of privacy, and electronic warfare.
Instead, her goal is to provide us with a comprehensive overview of what's become known as "information warfare"...
