Description:

The rapid growth of Internet-based technology has led to the widespread use of computer networks such as Web search and email service. With this increased use, computer systems have inevitably become targets for attack. Once these attacks successfully explore the vulnerabilities of an information system, the confidential information in the system can be accessed and used by those attackers who are not authorized to access to the information.

Information Assurance and Security Technologies for Risk Assessment and Threat Management: Advances details current trends and advances in information assurance and security, as well as explores emerging applications. The book aims to provides the readers with an opportunity to build a strong, fundamental understanding of theory and methods and, thus, to find solutions for many of today’s most interesting and challenging problems regarding information assurance and security.
