PRINCIPLES OF INFORMATION SECURITY, 5e illustrates that information security in the modern organization is a problem for management to solve and not a problem that technology alone can answer-a problem that has important economic consequences and for which management will be held accountable.
Each chapter opens with a short story that follows the same fictional company as it encounters the real-world issues of information security. At the end of the chapter, discussion questions complete the case study scenario, giving instructors and students the opportunity to discuss the underlying issues.
Interspersed throughout the textbook, Offline and Technical Details boxes highlight interesting topics and some technical issues, enabling students to delve into key concepts more deeply.
Chapters end with a Summary, Review Questions and Exercises that give students the opportunity to examine the information security arena outside the classroom. Exercises prompt students to research, analyze and write to reinforce learning objectives and deepen their understanding of the text.
