Book description
Information security is the act of protecting information from
unauthorized access, use, disclosure, disruption, modification, or
destruction. This book discusses why information security is needed and
how security problems can have widespread impacts. It covers the
complete security lifecycle of products and services, starting with
requirements and policy development and progressing through development,
deployment, and operations, and concluding with decommissioning.
Professionals in the sciences, engineering, and communications fields
