Opis

The early years of the 21st century nd the IT industry struggling to balance a multitude of constituencies and work paradigms in a manner that assures adequate levels of enterprise security, personal privacy, mobility, economic viability and the sacrosanctness of human identity. This balance is not always self-evident. Nor does the continual barrage of industry advances suggest an imminent status quo looms near on the horizon. Here, in a series of essays dating back to the immediate aftermath of 911, that tackles these dynamic tensions in a clear and forthright manner with particular attention to the challenges and opportunities afforded by teleworking, new authentication protocols, health information security and other critical and cutting-edge issues. This collection is essential reading for any IT professional who wishes to engage the larger social context of Information Technology's responsible place in an increasingly complex world."
