It is clear that computer viruses and other software menaces, like their biological counterparts, are here to stay. This poses a particular problem for organizations which use computers - how to minimize the threat to their information systems without unduly disrupting their functioning.  This book presents a concise overview of the problem and a detailed framework for dealing with computer viruses in organizations. Managers are the target audience, and will find that it offers more than the usual technical information.
