Overview
An in-depth look at the pressing issues involved in protecting an e-business from external threats while safeguarding customer privacyWith billions of dollars at stake in e-commerce, companies are becoming much more concerned about security and privacy issues. Hackers have made headlines by breaking into Web sites that aggregate sensitive information about all of us, which has caused growing public concern about personal and financial privacy. Some online businesses are inadvertently "sharing" data with others when they interoperate systems. This book examines the external threats to a company's system and explains how to react if your system and business goals diverge. It also presents a nuts-and-bolts guide to enhancing security and safeguarding gateways. Readers will find an extensive reference section for the many tools, standards, and watchdog agencies that aid in the security/privacy effort.Editorials

This book, which Ghosh (author and consultant) suggests will provide a useful companion to his 1998 reference , covers the security and privacy issues of e- business. E-business itself is defined, with several case studies as examples, and expansion of the concept to include embedded Internet devices as enablers. The technology of e-business and its attendant risks are described, with subsequent chapters devoted to software risk management strategies, a lengthy description of how to build a secure e-business, client-side risks, the risks of mobile and malicious code, risks to mobile e-commerce, and the privacy risks of the online world.
