IT Security

by Roland Buresund last modified 2008-11-14 13:31

Rating: ******* (Good)

A book that you may put into the CIO's hands (or why not any managers hands). It explains the reasoning why you need security with some (in fact) silly and not very factual examples that anyway is very telling to any non-security savy senior manager.

In short, a book to give away.
