Syngress Publishing - Enemy at the Water Cooler:

 

It has been my experience that security is really 90% policy and while there are some terrific firewalls out there for external threats, the real danger comes from the inside. In the government world you hear the acronym M.I.C.E. (money, idiology, conscience and ego) in just about every conversation about internal dangers to sensitive information.  Enemy at the Water Cooler is one of those primers that anyone responsible for security policy should read.

Brian Contos has created what few security specialists can claim: a truly readable book about the threats to our businesses from insiders who know how to attack the critical components of modern business, the computers, applications and networks that make it all work. During the last fifteen years we have witnessed incredible strides in network centric business processes that have spawned the productivity of our workforce and the globalization of our supply chains. All of this progress is based on Information Technology advances that connect people and processes together to achieve more than our traditional approaches would have ever allowed… “Enemy at the Water Cooler is a must read for CIOs and security officers everywhere, but it is also part of the literature that CEOs and government leaders should read to understand how their businesses can be threatened by lack of attention to the fundamental IT infrastructure and its vulnerabilities to the insider threat.�—William P. Crowell, former Deputy Director of the National Security Agency (NSA)
