But the risks confronting these applications have never been greater. Cover Your Assets (CYA) is an e-business security manual with policies and procedures for senior managers to help-desk personnel.
CYA strengthens existing business models by teaching you to identify protection gaps in both your tangible and intangible assets. Learn to develop a security plan tailored to your application needs and the size of your Web site. Whether you have existing or new applications, CYA shows you how to lock down tangible assets and recommends tools to prevent, detect, and react to security challenges. It analyzes quality assurance and takes you through the verification process. It even tells you how to safeguard the physical plant and meet the challenge of “social engineers” trying to sweet-talk their way to sensitive information. With an extensive glossary and annotated bibliography, CYA is required reading for everyone on your team. | | | Product Details: | | | Author:

"Inspired"
Cover Your Assets is well written and pulls together, in a concise manner, the key aspects of managing, securing, and deploying Internet applications. It provides both technical and non-technical guidance to operating applications in a secure environment. It explores technology and policy related issues, going so far as to provide specific checklists of responsibilities for all members of an organization who share responsibility for security. In addition, it makes specific security recommendations for configuration of key devices to limit their vulnerability to malicious activity. In short, the book is well done; a useful treatise for all security concious members of an organization.

By Gavin Denson
I thought this book was a nice overview (from a higher level) for application developers on the process of application development.I would ask for the authors to include more information on privacy because its such an area of concern.
