Since his release from federal prison, in 1998, Mitnick has turned his life around and established himself as one of the most sought-after computer security experts worldwide. Now, in The Art of Deception, the world's most notorious hacker gives new meaning to the old adage, 'It takes a thief to catch a thief.'Focusing on the human factors involved with information security, Mitnick explains why all the firewalls and encryption protocols in the world will never be enough to stop a savvy grifter intent on rifling a corporate database or an irate employee determined to crash a system.

Buch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - Die Geschäftspolitik ist zum Geschäft der Politik geworden. Die Konsequenzen sind weltweit deutlich spürbar: Ebenso wie ein Zuviel an staatlichen Eingriffen zu Fehlfunktionen in den Volkswirtschaften führt, ist ein Markt, der sich selbst überlassen bleibt, nicht in der Lage, sich selbst angemessen zu regulieren. Das rechtswidrige Verhalten von Unternehmen in den USA hat dazu geführt, dass sich im internationalen Umfeld die Wahrnehmung über den Nutzeffekt regulatorischer Strukturen bei der Bekämpfung korrupter Praktiken im privaten wie öffentlichen Sektor verändert hat. Der Entwurf wirksamer Corporate Governance Strukturen hängt nicht allein von internen Faktoren ab, sondern auch vom Zusammenspiel verschiedener Akteure, die den weiter gefassten Rahmen der Unternehmensleitung und Unternehmenskontrolle bilden, nämlich Politiker, Lobbyisten, Unternehmensvertreter und Kontrollinstanzen.'Wall Street on Trial' - Dieses Buch wagt sich auf unbekanntes Terrain vor, indem es die systemischen Mängel des Modells genau analysiert und aufschlüsselt. Hier enthüllt es, dass die Theorie vom 'Faulen Apfel', die die Probleme in Amerikas Unternehmenswelt einfach als Ergebnis von abweichendem Verhalten eines einzelnen Unternehmens darstellt ein intellektueller Trugschluss ist, der nicht durch die gewonnenen Fakten belegt wird.
