About this book

This book provides a practical and strategic perspective on IT and cyber security for corporations and other businesses. Leading experts from industry, politics and research discuss the status quo and future prospects of corporate cyber security. They answer questions such as: How much will IT security cost? Who will provide IT security? Can security even be fun?

The book claims that digitization will increasingly pervade all areas of the economy, as well as our daily professional and personal lives. It will produce speed, agility and cost efficiency, but also increasing vulnerability in the context of public, corporate and private life. Consequently, cyber security is destined to become the great facilitator of digitization, providing maximum protection for data, networks, data centres and terminal devices. 

Reviews

“All chapters serve as the basis for a discussion on digitization and its impact on the future development of our society and economy. … The authors provide interesting facts on different aspects of digitization. For security experts, all chapters are easy to understand. … the book provides clear and valuable insights into cybersecurity issues and solutions. The target audience should be academics, security professionals, and organizations that plan to implement a long-term security strategy.” (Computing Reviews, November, 2017)
