Security in a Web 2.0+ World: A Standards-Based Approach

by Carlos Curtis Solari

Overview

Security for a Web 2.0 world has become a necessity.  There is an overwhelming need for a better approach to implement appropriate information security controls. However, limited information is available on the importance of a consistent model for security supported by international standards; the business value is difficult to quantify and the topic tends to be mis-communicated between technicians and policy makers.

Security Standards for a Web 2.0+ World clearly demonstrates how existing security solutions are failing to provide secure environments and trust between users and among organizations. Bringing together much needed information, and a broader view on why and how to deploy the appropriate standards. This book supports a shift in the current approach to information security, allowing companies to develop more mature models and achieve cost effective solutions to security challenges.
