This work offers an in-depth look at the issues involved in protecting an e-business from external threats whilst safeguarding customer privacy. With considerable amounts of money at stake in e-commerce, companies are growing concerned about security and privacy issues. Hackers have made headlines by breaking into Web sites that aggregate sensitive information about all of us, which has caused growing public concern about personal and financial privacy. Some online businesses are inadvertently "sharing" data with others when they incorporate systems. This book examines the external threats to a company's system and explains how to react if system and business goals diverge. It also presents a nuts-and-bolts guide to enhancing security and safeguarding gateways. It includes an extensive reference section for the many tools, standards, and watchdog agencies that aid in the security/privacy effort.
