What other people say about this book:

"I like that this book isn’t pretentious, it says what it wants to accomplish. Easily structured and easy to read without too much jargon, or if needed, it's nicely explained for the non-geek. It particularly addresses the dangers with PDAs and handheld computers that are loved by managers and used extensively. Throughout the book, information is provided pointing out where the risks are with these gadgets and why the executive might represent the weakest link in the chain, thereby endangering the security policy, compliance and reputation of the firm (e.g., losing his non-encrypted gadget with sooooo important info on it.... if it gets into the wrong hands, what then?)."
