Library Journal Review

Some think the next war will not be fought in the skies, or on the seas, or even across a field. Instead, it will occur over a global information infrastructure, where national boundaries dissolve and jurisdictions vanish. Cohen, the inventor of the term "computer virus" and a computer security expert for more than two decades, provides an overview of this war's battlefield. His inviting book helps you understand the threat; the last two chapters in particular review protection schemes and their costs. Current losses due to inadequate computer security in the United States amount to $10 billion a year, and case studies presented here make you realize that these losses will probably grow at an alarming rate as more computers are hooked into ill-protected networks. Overall, a good place to start learning more about security and protection, this book is an excellent introduction to the issues, terms, and concepts. (c) Copyright 2010.

Frederick B. Cohen, PhD, is a principal of Management Analytics. Perhaps best known for his pioneering work on computer viruses, he also invented the integrity mechanisms used in most of the PC-based protection products now on the market. The author of several books and dozens of research papers on computer security, Professor Cohen is one of the most sought-after speakers on the subject.
