    Every year, in response to new technologies and new laws in different countries and regions, there are changes to the fundamental knowledge, skills, techniques, and tools required by all IT security professionals. In step with the lightning-quick, increasingly fast pace of change in the technology field, the Information Security Management Handbook, updated yearly, has become the standard on which all IT security programs and certifications are based. It reflects new updates to the Common Body of Knowledge (CBK) that IT security professionals all over the globe need to know.

    Captures the crucial elements of the CBK

    Exploring the ten domains of the CBK, the book explores access control, telecommunications and network security, information security and risk management, application security, and cryptography. In addition, the expert contributors address security architecture and design, operations security, business continuity planning and disaster recovery planning. The book also covers legal regulations, compliance, investigation, and physical security. In this anthology of treatises dealing with the management and technical facets of information security, the contributors examine varied topics such as anywhere computing, virtualization, podslurping, quantum computing, mashups, blue snarfing, mobile device theft, social computing, voting machine insecurity, and format string vulnerabilities.
