| Enemy at the Water Cooler: Real-Life Stories of Insider Threats Book Enemy at the Water Cooler: Real-Life Stories of Insider Threats and Enterprise Security Management Countermeasures (Syngress, September 2006) by Brian Contos is the definitive book for CIOs, CSOs and CEOs looking to battle the rising tide of security threats posed by their own trusted employees, consultants and partners. Enemy at the Water Cooler covers over a decade of the author's work with some of the largest commercial and government agencies around the world in addressing cyber security related to malicious insiders. It explores organized crime, terrorist threats, hackers and activist groups. It then addresses the steps that organizations must take to address insider threats at a people, process and technology level. Contos' book provides a new perspective to the growing concern over insider threats. Insider threats warrant being among the top concerns of IT professionals and businesses alike, but to date, there have been no other books that talk about the threat to businesses from insiders who know how to attack the critical components of modern business, the computers, applications and networks that make it all work. write your comments about the article :: © 2006 Computing News :: home page |
