Description:
In the most comprehensive, practical handbook on business security to date, security and subject-matter experts show how organizations can prevent or manage crises, protect employees overseas, control privacy issues, deal with natural disasters, keep electronic communication safe from prying eyes or malice, avoid workplace violence and acts of terror, assess risk, train employees in security issues, and manage dozens of other things prudent managers need to know to protect their organizations from the unthinkable. Two volumes cover everything necessary to keep people, infrastructure, and systems safer: Volume 1: Securing the Enterprise Volume 2: Securing People and Processes Covering all dimensions of security in the twenty-first century, the PSI Handbook of Business Security offers case examples, practical checklists/templates, sidebars, a glossary, resources, and primary documents--all designed to keep both employees and infrastructure safe when trouble strikes. And strike it will, making this essential reading for security experts, senior executives, line and HR managers, and anyone else with a corporate responsibility for infrastructure, processes, or other people.
The PSI Handbook of Business Security covers current issues and practices in organizational safety and security, business continuity, and crisis management. Each chapter is written by an expert in the topic, and each provides a background explanation of the issue at hand, examples of innovative practices, and insights into current controversies and emerging trends. Emphasizing best practices across the private, public, non-profit, and institutional sectors--in the U.S. and internationally--the set also contains diagnostic aids, facts and figures, definitions, and illuminating case examples. Over the course of both volumes, readers will learn where businesses are most vulnerable, which technological innovations increase safety and security, how to deal with security issues in danger zones, how to use surveillance and other technology without crossing ethical or legal boundaries, how to fend off computer hackers, and how to provide psychological as well as physical security. If you're in business, you're at risk. The PSI Handbook of Business Security will serve as sturdy armor to protect people from the inevitable security challenges that come with doing business in a global economy.
