SYNOPSIS: "Computer crime costs American business at least $1 billion a year and could be as high as $10 billion per year."--The American Bar Association To appreciate the extent to which human factors play in computer crime, we have to be aware of its role in crime deterrence, prevention, detection, and risk assessment on the physical, hardware, software, and personnel security levels. Most DP installations have spent thousands and hundreds of thousands of dollars to secure their computer hardware and software, yet these two inanimate objects do not commit crimes, people do! This does not mean to imply that proper security measures should not be taken with hardware and software. Nevertheless, the human factor--an element often ignored by management and neglected by high technology technicians--is seldom considered in every aspect of computer security. The examples presented within this book will serve to separate the myth and the recent nationwide hype about outsiders being the greatest threat to business and government DP security. The truth is that insiders pose a far greater threat to the organization's computer security than outside "electronic invaders" possibly could. The reason is pure and simple. Insiders are familiar with their employer's DP operations and the type of data each system and application is storing and processing. Consequently they know where to look for specific data. And if they are in doubt, they can reference the systems' documentation which usually includes programming specifications, file and record layouts, a date element dictionary, and so on. But most significantly, insiders have or can get the password to access stored crucial information such as financial, marketing, manufacturing, technological, or research data unless proper prevention and detection measures are in effect. What is computer security? According to the experts, computer security is an umbrella that protects the organization's hardware and software, as well as the data and information processed by the computer, against abuse, fraud, embezzlement, sabotage, and intentional or accidental damage or natural disaster. The responsibility for protecting the company's computer systems belongs to the highest level of management. Only management can institute the rules, define their philosophy, and implement proper measures not only to secure the physical properties, but also personnel measures that will go a long way towards the deterrence of computer crime by an individual or groups of individuals. Our author, has created a list of "things" that management should follow to provide the maximum security for their installations. Throughout the entire text, Ms. Van Duyn stresses that the first step in deterrence and prevention of crime is management's willingness to accept the fact that people do and can commit crime. Julia Van Duyn is currently teaching Computer Security and Systems Analysis at Sacramento State College. Previously she was employed at a number of computer installations as a systems analyst and documentation specialist. She has written several books prior to this one. Size: 8vo - over 7¾" - 9¾" tall.

Shop-Beschreibung

For a good portion of the 1990's, our family was interested in the idea of entering the used book business. We are all avid readers, book lovers, and book collectors who cannot pass a bookstore without popping in. Family trips to the library and our local used bookstore were a regularity while growing up. With each of us having interests in different genres (with a little overlapping here and there), we cover a lot of bases. The thought of having a store of our own was appealing, and the hunt was on - both for stock and a location. We thought to combine under one roof many different things that would appeal to readers and book lovers. Not only used books, but some new items as well. Bookmarks (to ward off dog-eared pages), bookends (to keep those out-of-control collections under control), bookplates (to label books on the "Can I borrow that?" circuit to ensure that they always found their way home), book repair tape (to lend a helping hand to collectors with tattered favourites in their collections), and so on. With an interest in book-themed knick knacks as well, we had two sides to our would-be business: books and knick-knacks. Hence the business was born. In the early part of 1998 we bought a commercial property, and in the summer we first opened our doors in a storefront in Uxbridge, Ontario, Canada. With start-up stock consisting of a garage full of books hand-picked for just such a venture that we purchased from someone who changed their plans, we were in business. For several years we operated in this storefront, growing our business and learning about the industry and the backbone of it - the customers. It was very satisfying to be present at the end of someone's book quest, as we were quite often. Many a time we heard shouts of joy from somewhere in the shop as customers happened upon just what they'd been looking for (oftentimes for quite a while). At other times, people would approach us with bits and pieces of information that they remembered from long ago favourites in hopes that we could at least help them come up with an author or title to help in their search, which we often times did, with the book in hand. And when we couldn't come up with anything on our own, we would pick the brains of other customers in conversation, or turn to the internet for help for them. For us, quality and selection of stock go hand-in-hand with customer service. One isn't much good without the other. But times, people, places, and lives change and after several years in our storefront we made a change of our own - in 2004 we relocated to the internet. Now a home-based business in Oshawa, Ontario, Canada, we are gradually bringing our inventory online here. We carry used paperbacks, hardbacks, and magazines for both adults and children. We have thousands upon thousands of books that are not yet listed for sale on the internet, but are gradually making their way there.
