New chapter on Computer Security
Retains the outstanding organization of the previous editions

The revision of Effective Security Management retains the excellent qualities which made the original editions a standard of the profession: a readable, comprehensive guide to the organization, staffing, and operation of the security function. Sennewald, a recognized leader in the field, applies modern management strategies to the concerns and problems facing every security manager. The focus of this book is not on abstract theories but rather on practical methods which can be used in managing an effective security department.
