“This valuable tool for the security manager will assist in tailoring surveys
specifically for
security. The Ultimate Computer Security Survey will allow security managers to
take one of
the most time-consuming and difficult areas of security - vulnerability assessment -
and make
it manageable. The primary characteristic of The Ultimate Computer Security
Survey is
complete flexibility. It takes into account that every facility and location, as well as
the
corporate complexion of every business. is distinctly different, a point often
overlooked by
many of the surveys currently available. This book is broken down into three main
areas:
physical security issues, retail and financial security issues, and computing and
computer
security issues. These three areas are further divided into separate topics, and
again into 35
individual criteria, which are visually distinguishable through the use of icons. The
Ultimate
Computer Security Survey contains more than 2,400 questions, which are all
included on
disk
with the book. This allows the user to tailor a survey applicable to one or many
specific sites.”
