How Secure are your Digital Assets? Why are so many companies losing data despite the increases in security spending? Why aren't the latest advancements in technology keeping hackers out?

In most companies, these assets form some of the most important elements of your organization and require special treatment. In this book you'll learn what it means to be: Asset Focused: What does it mean to be asset focused rather than technology focused? See how cyberthieves have developed one of the most lucrative businesses our economy has seen by understanding the value of digital assets. Restrictive with Access: Who should have access to what?

See how my own family met intruders with an effective response plan; one you can't afford not to have. Always Assessing: Most companies I speak with don't see any immediate security problems.
