Information Security Handbook

Automation of clerical processes makes information systems more vulnerable, because they no longer require the prudent manual checks and balances which were once an unspoken part of the job. When combined with the pressures of cost of implementation and timescale, this has meant that few, if any, security controls have been built into these systems. This book examines modern systems of information security and how, in the modern office environment, security systems have often been overlooked. The authors argue that it is often the case that security deficits are not detected until a breach of security occurs. This means that security systems are not implemented until a breach of security occures. Information sources have consequently become more attractive for criminal and terrorist groups who are then in a position to demand high rewards for minimal effort. A single compromised password can lead to fraud involving electronic funds transfer (EFT), or to exposure of corporate secrets through industrial espionage. This book is designed to help managers to become acquainted with the risks involved and to help them to minimize the chance of an unwanted incident and reduce the effect of any damage. The first chapter provides the foundation upon which subsequent sections are built, but the authors do not expect the work to be read in sequence, from cover to cover, as a novel. Hence a question and answer format has been adopted.

Cyber Conflicts and Small States

<p>The probability of a world-wide cyber conflict is small. Yet the probability of forms of cyber conflict, regional or even global, could be argued as being very high. Small countries are usually signatories to military and economic alliances with major world powers but rely heavily on the technical ability of these powers in protecting their own national interests. They may be considered to be IT ’technology colonies’. Their cyber infrastructure is usually fully imported and their ability to assess it is limited. This book poses the question: to what extent should, or can, a small country prepare itself for handling the broad range of cyber threats? Looking at cyber-warfare, cyber-terrorism, cyber-crime and associated concerns, national experts from New Zealand, Australia, The Netherlands, and Poland present analyses of cyber-defence realities, priorities and options for smaller countries. They show that what is needed is the ability of small nations to be able to define and prepare appropriate responses such as the role of military/law enforcement/business entities, continuity and resilience strategies, incident response and business continuity plans and more for handing nationally-aimed cyber-attacks particularly where these address national critical infrastructures.</p>
