Inhaltsangabe

Information security systems have become more popular due to the prevalence of criminal activity over benign attacks. Because computer systems are constantly changing, it is important to explore new security measures and unconventional approaches to solving issues. Information Security in Diverse Computing Environments provides the latest empirical research and theoretical frameworks in the area of information security. This reference book presents research on developing sufficient security measures for new environments by discussing challenges faced by researchers as well as unconventional solutions to these problems. This book will be useful for academics, students, professionals, executives, and researchers who want to improve their understanding of the role of information security at different levels of the knowledge society.
