"When it comes to e-business security, it's all about the software," Ghosh asserts. "The solutions for privacy and security lie deeper than the perimeter—beyond firewalls and encryption tools. E-business systems have to be engineered from the ground up with security, reliability and privacy in mind." Using case studies and real-world examples, Security & Privacy for E-Business provides an accessible and compelling discussion on balancing business and technical requirements while providing guidance on how to build secure systems from origination. The book touches on topical issues including: software risk management (SRM) and secure e-business system and engineering and testing; denial-of-service attacks, buffer overruns, 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); and why online privacy is good business. Richard Dean, program manager of security services research, IDC states, "The global e-business wave continues to spark passionate debate about important personal and consumer-rights issues, such as Internet security and individual privacy. As organizations and individuals become increasingly connected through various networks in the coming decades, clearly the need for more intelligent safeguards—at both the organizational as well as consumer levels—has never been more apparent. Security & Privacy for E-Business offers its audience a front-row seat allowing a view into the realities and dangers that exist in today's universal electronic marketplace." Ghosh, a world-renowned expert in electronic commerce security is also the author of the first definitive guide to e-commerce security, E-Commerce Security: Weak Links, Best Defenses (Wiley, 1998). As a consultant to Global 1000 companies, Ghosh emphasizes the compelling business imperatives for securing e-commerce systems while providing expert technical advice on how to do it. He has been interviewed on Internet credit card fraud on CNBC Business News and is the recipient of an IEEE Third Millennium Medal for Outstanding Contributions to E-Commerce Security.
