global challenges in the next millennium

A book edited by Dr Gurpreet Dhillon, College of Business, University of Nevada

This is especially so because of the evolving nature of organizations. The
pitfalls lying in wait of corporate information are legion. These risks cut

computing, risk management, telecommunications and law. If information is our
most important asset, then we must gird ourselves up for the task of protecting
it properly.

information security in the next millennium. It will focus on aspects of
information security planning, evaluation, design and implementation.
Furthermore, the book will provide an extensive coverage of complex information
security issues that organizations would face at the advent of the next
millennium. Such issues would relate to aspects of social responsibility,
ethics, computer crime, misuse, privacy etc.
