About this book

In this book the author presents ten key laws governing information security. He addresses topics such as attacks, vulnerabilities, threats, designing security, identifying key IP assets, authentication, and social engineering. The informal style draws on his experience in the area of video protection and DRM, while the text is supplemented with introductions to the core formal technical ideas. It will be of interest to professionals and researchers engaged with information security.

Reviews

“Ten laws for security approaches security standards using a framework of ten fundamental principles. … an information security team could use these laws to establish a common vision for the goals of an information security program within an organization. Finally, through its use of cases, practical analysis, takeaways, and a detailed bibliography, this book could easily be adopted as a textbook for an upper-division or graduate class in information security management and policy.” (Computing Reviews, June, 2017)
