About the Author :
Alan Calder is a businessman who, during many years of running companies of all sizes in both the public and private sectors, has grappled with geek-speak around computers and information security. He believes that information security is as fundamental to everyday sensible behaviour as household security. The truth is that it's the geeks who are advancing the capability of modern computing and, therefore, it is essential that everyone else understand what is going on and how, simply and pragmatically, to cope. Alan is a founder director of IT Governance Ltd (www.itgovernance.co.uk), a consultancy firm that helps company boards tackles IT governance, information security and risk management. The company operates a website (www.itgovernancesales.co.uk) through which it provides a range of information security tools, including prewritten policy and procedure templates and guidance manuals and tools for BS7799/ISO17799 implementations. It also provides a range of tools for corporate wireless security projects.
