Dalla quarta di copertina

Cybercrime is on the move. It is in a state of constant evolution, capable of adapting both to developments in technology and to whatever security measures its targets have already put in place. Cybercrime and related forms of malicious activity will seek out your weak points in order to exploit them for their own advantage.

Because the activity of the cybercriminals is both deliberate and hostile, they can be compared to military adversaries. So, if you want to defend yourself effectively from such attacks, you can learn from military strategy.

Fighting cybercrime is about more than bureaucracy and compliance. A key objective of any information security assessment is to ensure that the relevant policies are not just treated by the staff as a formality. Your company s approach to information security has to be integrated with your overall business goals. To protect your sensitive information and systems, you must avoid a fortress mentality and be capable of adapting to an ever-changing environment. This means you need to plan an effective strategy for deterring the cybercriminal.
