The Basics Of Business Information Security - How To Protect Your Business Information

Online, April 3, 2011 (Newswire.com) - In today's business world the question is no longer why do Small and Medium business have so many problems with information security but more, is there a better way of understanding my business requirements and protecting my information. The complexity, compliance and requirements in business today make protecting that information not only difficult but expensive. Most have minimal knowledge and restricted capital to initiate protection for the very information that is critical to their business.

This book targets small and medium business and not for profit organisations and shows how to alleviate the risks and protect your business in simple and easy to understand chapters. The book "The Basics of Business Information Security" looks at security from the business prospective not the hard to understand and overly technical level that most information security books are written at. Roger Smith's new book on this topic is released today.

All businesses, no matter what they do, have information that is pertinent to their business stored as electronic data. Today's information protection can no longer be a case of lock it up and keep it safe. The use, protection and access to this data is where this book is focused. It is aimed at the most basic levels of protecting your business; it explains what the business needs and how to go about achieving that need. It is not an in-depth study of computer security, but it is based on what a small business should implement to protect themselves. It is written in easy to understand language.

How do you protect your information? How do I make my business more resilient? What levels of security do you need to put in place? What is a VPN or how do I set up a secure wireless network for my business? These are all questions that are answered to a level that a small and medium business and not for profit organisation can not only understand but also implement.

"It has been written by an expert using language that any small business operator can understand. It places emphasis on making sure that the business is in the best position to keep operating in the face of external or internal disruption, whatever the cause" said Geoff Rhodes Managing Director WebSafe Security
