Information Privacy Engineering and Privacy by Design: Understanding Privacy Threats, Technology, and Regulations Based on Standards and Best Practices

Organisations of all kinds are recognising the crucial importance of protecting privacy. Their customers, employees, and other stakeholders demand it. Today, failures to safeguard privacy can destroy organisational reputations - and even the organisations themselves. But implementing effective privacy protection is difficult, and there are few comprehensive resources for those tasked with doing so. In Information Privacy Engineering and Privacy by Design, renowned information technology author William Stallings brings together the comprehensive and practical guidance you need to succeed. Stallings shows how to apply today’s consensus best practices and widely-accepted standards documents in your environment, leveraging policy, procedures, and technology to meet legal and regulatory requirements and protect everyone who depends on you. Like Stallings’ other award-winning texts, this guide is designed to help readers quickly find the information and gain the mastery needed to implement effective privacy.
