The Hundredth Window: Protecting Your Privacy and Security in the Age of the Internet - Hardcover

Security experts often say that if you put bars across ninety-nine of your windows but leave the hundredth window open, the invaders can still get in. For computer privacy, then, the question becomes, How can you best monitor that hundredth window? Charles Jennings and Lori Fena provide a comprehensive guide to privacy and security in the fast-changing Internet age, identifying winning and losing strategies for users and businesses. They argue that Web users need to think of privacy less as an inalienable right and more as a personal skill -- a vital skill, in fact, in dealing with an information-hungry Internet that knows more about us than we do. Successful e-companies, likewise, will be the ones who know how to ensure a private and secure Web experience for their customers. Trust is the central issue facing the world of e-commerce today, and The Hundredth Window is the book the on-line world has been waiting for.
