Die jüngsten Schlagzeilen über Angriffe von Hackern auf die großen E-Commerce Web Sites machen nur allzu deutlich, daß die Beherrschung der notwendigen Technologie zum Aufbau sicherer Systeme heute wichtiger ist denn je. Bruce Schneier, internationaler Experte in Sachen Computersicherheit, gibt in diesem praktischen Leitfaden genaue Anleitungen, wie man Computernetzwerke gegen unbefugten Zugriff absichert. Hier erfahren Sie, warum Datenschutz im digitalen Zeitalter so schwierig ist, wie man digitale Information schützen kann, wie man die Sicherheitsanforderungen von Unternehmen ermittelt usw., usw.. Ein separates Kapitel widmet sich dem "Love Bug", dessen "I love you" im Mai alle Computernutzer in Angst und Schrecken versetzte.
