From the Book: Welcome to the inaugural book from RSA Press! From our participation in technical and legislative policy to hosting the world's foremost security conference, RSA Security has continually sought to educate the world on e-security issues, technologies and futures. Now, we are pleased to extend this same tradition through our new line of RSA Press books. We believe that the industry as a whole can advance more quickly with an open exchange of information and through education on the security issues that are shaping today's online marketplace. RSA Security's nearly two decades of hands-on experience in the esecurity realm make us uniquely suited to be a trusted source for information on the latest e-security trends and issues. With the proliferation of the Internet and revolutionary e-business practices, there has never been a more critical need for sophisticated security technologies and solutions - and for trustworthy information about e-security. RSA Press books can help your company move safely into the new and rewarding arena of electronic business, by providing relevant and unbiased information to guide you around the potential dangers of doing business in the networked world. Whether you are an enterprise IT manager, an application developer, a CEO, CIO or an end user of computer technologies, titles from RSA Press will be available to answer your questions and address your concerns about reaping the benefits of e-commerce while minimizing the risks involved with doing so. As our first published title, Defending Your Digital Assets Against Hackers, Crackers, Spies and Thieves provides a solid foundation for information security professionals to learnabout the methods of protecting their organizations' most precious assets: data. Network data has become increasingly valuable in today's public and private sectors, and most information that's accessible from a network is not as secure as it should be. Defending Your Digital Assets Against Hackers, Crackers, Spies and Thieves discusses the growing vulnerabilities associated with doing business online and offers detailed explanations and advice on how to prevent future attacks, detect attacks in progress, and quickly recover business operations. We hope you enjoy this inaugural work, and welcome your comments, criticism and ideas for future RSA Press books.
