Enhance the digital security knowledge-base within any organization
In today's competitive business environment, information and information technology have become crucial for a company's success. Ensuring the confidentiality of such information-financial, trade secrets, and the like-has become key. Defending the Digital Frontier, Second Edition describes where organizations are vulnerable and identifies protective measures that rely on people and process as much as technology. This book is a practical guide aimed at business leaders and executives, explaining why digital security is not a technical function, but a risk management operation, and illustrates an approach for creating an enterprise-wide security culture based on business-led risk-management principles.
Ernst & Young is a global leader in professional services, providing tax, assurance, and transaction advice to thousands of individuals as well as domestic and global businesses. Ernst & Young provides independent security solutions for some of the world's most information-intensive organizations, including numerous Fortune 500 companies, and the federal government. ...

A Good Starting Point for CEOs
Are you a CEO who is not sure how much you need to know about information security? Are you a CIO that is trying to educate your CEO and others? How much knowledge is really necessary for these people? These answers can be found in Defending the Digital Frontier: Practical Security for Management, 2nd Edition by Jan Babiak, John Butters, and Mark W. Doll (2004, 253 Pages including appendices, John Wiley and Son, ISBN 0471680877) may be the book for you. Well written and easy to read, this book lays out an information security atlas to guide management in understanding that the overall responsibility for information security lies with them. The authors do, however, leave out an integral component of information security which management also needs to know and understand.

The book is set out in tone and content to reflect the limited time a CEO may have. It tells what needs to be known and understood, in clear and concise language. Updated from the first edition to include recent results from the 2004 Global Information Security Survey conducted by Ernst & Young (the authors are all E&Y employees), the authors start out by discussing the "security gap" that has grown as companies move forward. Sometimes this advancement has involved "bleeding edge" technologies that increase risk to the enterprise. With this understanding, the authors clearly lay out the importance of IS security as part of a larger ecosystem. It is here they lay it on the line: IS security may, at least in part, be implemented by technology professionals, but overall responsibility is part of corporate security, which falls on the shoulders of the CEO.

The authors are successful in discussing security characteristics, risks, the security frontier, creating a security culture, and creating a roadmap for success. They even do a very good job discussing cyber-insurance and the futility of buying it if an adequate risk assessment has not been carried out. But to this reader, the biggest failing of this book is the very scant attention paid to social engineering. In fact, the only real mention of it is a definition entry in the glossary. Given that this threat is one of the hardest to defend against and the fact that it needs to be addressed in any and all security discussions, the authors fail in delivering this key concept.

Who Should Read This Book?

This book should be read by CEOs, company presidents and company owners. It provides a clear and concise, if not fully comprehensive, frame of reference and knowledge base for the intended audience.

Product Description
58 years after Hitler's demise, controversy continues to reign. Attitudes towards Hitler among his contemporaries and their descendants range from adulation to hatred. They are influenced by ideological stance, personal memories, guilt, and denial.Born into a German middle class family, John Koch remembers the world around him from Hitler's ascent to power to the end of World War II, which John Koch experienced as a soldier and a prisoner of war. He reports on the horrific post-war years and the birth of a democratic Germany. From hundreds of remembered events, discussions, arguments, and episodes of risk and danger, John Koch creates a mosaic that blends into a composite picture of a country hurtling towards the twelve years of Hitler's dictatorship over Germany and much of Europe.John Koch was blessed with growing up in a family that saw Hitler as the destroyer of Germany. It was a Germany from which there was NO ESCAPE until Hitler's suicide.At a time when the history of Hitler and his Third Reich is once more questioned, revised, or romanticized, John Koch presents his reminiscences as an autobiographical narrative that serves the reader well in understanding what happened in Germany under Hitler's shadow. ...

A vivid portrait of how normal, intelligent people reacted
John Koch grew up in an anti-Hitler German family and watched with increasing horror as Jews were demonized by the growing and eventually overwhelming power of the Nazis. Those Germans who were not pro-Nazi faced ever increasing and onerous restrictions on their movements, their possessions, the friends, the courses of study as their nation edged ever closer to war. No Escape: My Young Years Under Hitler's Shadow is a personal memoir that provides contemporary readers with the perspective of an ordinary German trapped by events and philosophies he despised. Conscripted into the German military, Koch saw combat on the Easter Front in what is now Belarus. He was taken prisoner by the U.S. Army in April 1945 and, 13 months later, escaped from a french POW camp. A deeply personal and candid recording of an extraordinary time, No Escape provides a vivid portrait of how normal, intelligent people reacted to Hitler's propaganda, daily life under the German dictator, escape from a war-ravaged Europe, and an inspiring renewal of life and freedom as an emigree to Canada. Deftly written, No Escape is a welcome and valued contribution to the growing library of World War II era biographies, autobiographies, and memoirs from a generation that is now passing all to rapidly from our midst.

Product Description
"Blest land of Judaea! Thrice hallowed in song, Where the holiest of memories pilgrim like throng, In the shade of thy palms, by the shores of thy sea, On the hills of the beauty, my heart is with thee." --_Whittier_.

A Galilean boy, a fisherman, a follower of Jesus, one of the twelve Apostles, one of the favored three, the beloved one, the Apostle of love, the Apostle of childhood, the one of all men who gave to mankind the clearest view of Jesus Christ--such was St John.

For young people he is a fitting study. To aid such is the purpose of this volume.

Let us first glance at the land where he lived, surrounded by influences that directed his life, and moulded his character.

Palestine was called by God Himself "The Glory of All Lands." He made it the home of His people the Jews, who long waited for the promised time when it should have greater glory by becoming the home of the Messiah, the Son of God. Before He was born the Jews were conquered by the Romans, and governed by them instead of the Jewish judges and kings. The country was divided into three parts. The southern was called Judaea; the middle, Samaria; and the northern, Galilee, which was the most beautiful part. It contained the hills of Galilee, and the plain and sea of Gennesaret, hallowed by the presence of Jesus, and what He there did.

At the time of which we write, two thousand years ago, Galilee was not inhabited wholly or chiefly by Jews. Other peoples, called Gentiles, were mixed with the Jewish race which continued to cultivate the land, and to tend the vineyards and olive-yards, and to dwell in the fisherman's huts and moor their boats on the sandy beach. Some Jews were artisans, working at their trades in the smaller towns. But there were vast crowds of foreigners whose life was a great contrast to that of the Jews. Their customs were those of the nations to which they belonged. They spoke their own languages. They worshiped their own false gods. Their amusements were such as they were accustomed to in their distant homes. This was especially true of the Romans who had theatres, chariot races, and gladiatorial combats, by the peaceful waters of Galilee.
