Release Notesrojans, Worms, and Spyware provides practical, easy to understand, and readily
usable advice to help organizations to improve their security and reduce the
possible risks of malicious code attacks. Despite the global and domestic (US)
economic downturn, information systems security remains one of the more
in-demand professions in the world today. With the widespread use of the
Internet as a business tool, more emphasis is being placed on information
security than ever before. To successfully deal with this increase in dependence
and the ever growing threat of virus and worm attacks, Information security and
information assurance (IA) professionals need a jargon-free book that addresses
the practical aspects of meeting new security requirements.

Everyone in business today knows what a virus is and, loosely, what effects it
can have on computers and networked systems. This book provides a comprehensive
list of threats, an explanation of what they are and how they wreak havoc with
systems, as well as a set of rules-to-live-by along with a system to develop
procedures and implement security training. It is a daunting task to combat the
new generation of computer security threats — new and advanced variants of
Trojans, as well as spyware (both hardware and software) and \"bombs\" — and
Trojans, Worms, and Spyware will be a handy must-have reference for the computer
security professional to battle and prevent financial and operational harm from
system attacks.
