Book Description

Defend your business from hack attacks with well-engineered e-business systems

Security & Privacy for E-Business

"When it comes to e-commerce security, it's all about the software," asserts e-commerce security expert Anup Ghosh. Using powerful examples and case studies, he provides a remarkably lucid and compelling discussion of how software flaws make your e-business vulnerable to attacks and what you can do to guard against them. Rather than focusing on firewalls and encryption tools, Ghosh presents a proactive engineering approach that tackles the problem at its source--software--and helps ensure the security and reliability of your e-commerce systems. You'll get complete guidance on how to build secure systems from the ground up, learn to balance technical and business requirements while providing privacy for your customers, and discover the inside track on a variety of cutting-edge topics, including:

Software risk management and secure e-business systems engineering and testing
Denial-of-service attacks, buffer overrun attacks, worms, Web server exploits, and cyber threats to all components of e-business systems
Software risks in wireless PDAs, WAP-enabled phones, and e-commerce applications
Mobile code and the growing threat of malware (malicious code)
Why online privacy——including P3P——is good business

Delivering Security and Privacy for E-Business.......2002-05-07

Ghosh's lack of reality clearly shows that he's been in academia too long. A nice fancy, eye-catching book title to pull the reader in with little content. For practical guidance, I'd recommend one of Hanson's works on e-Commerce privacy.

Good look at e-business protection.......2002-03-12

In just a matter of hours, a company can literally transform itself from an Internet Luddite to a glitzy e-commerce site. But once a company moves their storefront from small-town Main Street to the often-dangerous alleyways of the Information superhighway, there is a plethora of security and privacy issues that arise. But for many companies, they will take action on those security and privacy issues only after a security breach has occurred.

Security and Privacy for E-Business provides readers with a to get the point look at the issues involved in protecting an e-business from security threats, while having to simultaneously deal with their customer's privacy issues.

As Security Management readers know, the Internet is no longer a toy for academia. Billion dollar money transfers, transmission of patient data and other critical actions take place on the Internet daily. Without an effective security infrastructure, companies will find themselves with huge liabilities.

Anup Ghosh does a good job of showing how to build security into e-commerce systems. His style is ideal for those that don't have a background in security. At a little over 200 pages, readers will find enough information to give them a good introduction without being overly technical and abstract.

One of the author's areas of expertise is with writing secure software, and this is discussed at length in Chapter 3, where the book really comes alive. Ghosh's mantra throughout the book is that when it comes to e-commerce security, it's all about the software. Ghosh speaks at length about the need for effective engineering in the software development process. He lists numerous areas in the development cycle where security can be easily compromised, and it is in those areas where companies must ensure is secure.

While the book has privacy it its title, its coverage of privacy, while not as deep as I would have liked is valuable nonetheless.

Those needing a way to defend their networks against internal and external threats will find the book to be quite beneficial.

Anup Ghosh knows security!.......2001-11-16

From the author of E-commerce Security: Weak Links, Best Defenses, the first book on the topic, and now a classic--a must-read for anyone involved in e-commerce. This book is a follow-on companion to that book, and worth the read for Mr. Ghosh's clear and engaging expertise on security issues.

Great information, pitched at a readable level.......2001-03-26

This book did a great job of explaining a host of complex topics in a digestible format. I have engineering degrees from several years ago, but no practical experience related to e-business security or privacy before or since my transition to management. As someone who was interested in learning what I "need to know" about security and privacy for doing business online, I was pleasantly surprised to read well written and interesting explanations that did not require me to have a PhD in Computer Science to understand. I now can speak intelligently about data-driven vs code-driven attacks, DOS/dDOS, buffer overrun attacks, mobile code risks, and other topics of which I was previously only dimly, if at all, aware. The author does become repetitive at times, if only to insure that the reader is able to logically link related discussions. The tone of the book is very light and readable throughout, but it is pretty obvious that the author's true passion is in the Privacy arena. This is not to detract from the excellent coverage of security issues from someone with great knowledge and insight, but in the Privacy section, phrases like "A laudable privacy policy by a company that cannot protect its data is not worth the HTML in which it is written" and "...once the brouhaha simmers down to a dull roar, will DoubleClick merge the databases under the radar of the watchful public eye?" almost make me cackle. Colorful writing like this is sprinkled throughout the book, but is concentrated most heavily in the final chapter. In conclusion, I wholeheartedly recommend this book to any manager, director, or concerned citizen eager to familiarize him/herself with the relevant issues in an entirely painless way. Kudos and Kadayus.

Book Description

The creative approach to producing "dynamite" computer slide shows using PowerPoint, Corel Presentations and other slide show programs. How to write scripts, etc.

From writing super scripts to creating visuals that grab and hold audiences, How To Create Super Desktop Presentations guides you through it all: Titles, themes and treatments; how to create and hold interest; recording narration; even how to make a good show of it. And there are plenty of examples, too, with a ton of actual scripts to refer to--and steal ideas from--such as Chapter 7: 17 Successful Story Treatments and Titles (Why You Should Never Run Out Of Ideas). What's more, with quite literally a million clipart drawings, stock photos and ready-to-use artwork available today, you needn't be an artist. And with the direction this book gives you, you don't really need to be a writer to produce a captivating script, either.

So whether you are a businessman or woman who is tapped by your boss to produce the best computer slide show yet conceived for your company's next annual dealer/distributor meeting, or an entrepreneur who'd like to make a ton of money creating shows for hire, here's how to do it all. Even to how to market both custom jobs and "stock" programs you can sell over and over and over and over again.

Simple and Straightforward; A Helpful Book.......2001-07-03

I wrote this review originally in Learning A Living; A Guide to Planning Yor Career and Finding A Job for People with Learning Disabilities, Attention Deficit Disorder, and Dyslexia;

The title page reads: "A simple, straightforward job-search book for people who would rather be working than reading a book" It is 88 pages long and is packed with creative pointers. It begins by disucssing your attitude and ends by telling you how to handle a job offer. Included are sections on identifying your skills, researching the job, doing well on interviews, finding leads, and managing your time. One section covers disability issues.

A must-have for all job seekers.......1998-10-29

This book is a comprehensive and easy to read manual for job seekers. It covers not only the standards of job search (resumes, cover letters, etc.), but also the more elusive points of a successful search: networking, interviewing, and using the telephone. It offers some creative ideas to set you apart from the crowd.

Equally important, it is designed to be a reference manual with easy to find sections and lots of tables and charts.

As a career coach, I have read hundreds of books on resumes and job search and can tell you that this is by far the bible of job search. It is truly a must-have for all job seekers.

Book Description

Bargaining for what we want or need is a part of our everyday lives. But how often do we stop to consider all the factors that go into the bargaining process? How often do we look at the strategies and tactics available to us? And how often do we hurt our own position by failing to do so?

In The Art of Bargaining, Richard Ned Lebow draws on his years of experience with the United States government, NATO, and numerous European and American businesses to explain the principles of negotiation--from buying a car to planning business mergers to signing an international treaty. Unlike studies that examine only what is said and done at the negotiation table, The Art of Bargaining looks at the context in which negotiation takes place--and shows why some of the most critical decisions about bargaining are made even before the parties sit down to talk.

Lebow begins with a discussion of the nature of bargaining and why people choose to bargain. Because bargaining is a strategy, it is imperative to consider the end goal before deciding on the means for achieving it. Lebow explores the relationship between bargaining and its goals and compares the bargaining process with some other strategies--such as coercion or threats--that can achieve similar goals.

An in-depth study of the decision to negotiate reveals that there are three distinct approaches to the process: coordination (mutual accommodation of both parties' interests); punishment (the use of threats to influence agreement); and reward (making agreements seem more attractive through incentives). Lebow explains how all three approaches can be used effectively once the context of the negotiation has been properly analyzed.

Using concrete examples of negotiation from everyday life as well as world politics, The Art of Bargaining provides the reader with ways to increase bargaining leverage, analyze the strategies and goals of bargaining opponents, and overcome the obstacles that present themselves at the negotiation table.

Book Description

Bargaining Power examines the balance of power between management and unions, showing why some managementsDSand some trade unionsDSare more powerful than others. Bargaining power has long been recognized as central to industrial relations, but no previous work has taken the issue as its central focus. Using both sociological and economic evidence, the author shows how managements and unions approach negotiations and how they use power to achieve their bargaining objectives. In turn he analyses different perspectives on power, negotiations, the industrial relations context, and human resources management. The book concludes with an examination of the changing position of trade unions in Britain in the 1980s, arguing that union bargaining power remains more significant than suggested by the decline in union membership.
