In conclusion.
"Computers do not commit crimes. People do."
The biggest threat to information security is the "human factor", the influence of people. Even the best people will make mistakes, cause breaches and create security weaknesses that enable criminals to steal, corrupt or manipulate systems and data. The explosion in social networking and mobile computing is intensifying this problem.
For the first time, this book brings together theories and methods which will help you to change and harness people′s security behaviour. It will help you to:
- Understand and manage major crises and risk
