Many people find the world of security frightening, confusing and full of doom and gloom, otherwise known as FUD (fear uncertainty and doubt). This is because, like selling insurance, security vendors have to convince the rest of the world that security is needed. What most people don't realize is that security, like insurance, is really just about risk management. Through numerous analogies and antic-dotes, Chris Silvers explains the essential concepts of security, focusing on information and cyber in enterprise environments and how they relate to personal privacy in the digital age.
