"When it comes to e-commerce security, it’s all about the software," asserts e-commerce security expert Anup Ghosh. Using powerful examples and case studies, he provides a remarkably lucid and compelling discussion of how software flaws make your e-business vulnerable to attacks and what you can do to guard against them. Rather than focusing on firewalls and encryption tools, Ghosh presents a proactive engineering approach that tackles the problem at its source––software––and helps ensure the security and reliability of your e-commerce systems. You’ll get complete guidance on how to build secure systems from the ground up, learn to balance technical and business requirements while providing privacy for your customers, and discover the inside track on a variety of cutting-edge topics, including:

• Software risk management and secure e-business systems engineering and testing
• Denial-of-service attacks, buffer overrun attacks, worms, Web server exploits, and cyber threats to all components of e-business systems
• Software risks in wireless PDAs, WAP-enabled phones, and e-commerce applications
• Mobile code and the growing threat of malware (malicious code)
• Why online privacy——including P3P——is good business
