Information Risk and Security explains the complex and diverse sources of risk for any organisation and provides clear guidance and strategies to address these threats before they happen, and to investigate them if and when they do. Edward Wilding focuses particularly on internal IT risk, workplace crime and the preservation of evidence, because it is these areas that are generally so mismanaged.
