Secrets and Lies: Digital Security in a Networked World

Praise for Secret & Lies

"A primer in practical computer security aimed at those shopping, communicating, or doing business online almost everyone, in other words."
The Economist

"Schneier . . . peppers the book with lively anecdotes and aphorisms, making it unusually accessible."
Los Angeles Times

"This is a business issue, not a technical one, and executives can no longer leave such decisions to techies. That′s why Secrets and Lies belongs in every manager′s library."
Business Week

"This book should be–and can be–read by any business executive, no specialty in security required. Anyone reading Secrets and Lies will immediately understand that security involves everything: where you work, how you work, and who you work with. It will alter the way you do business–related issues. At Walker Digital, we spent millions of dollars to understand what Bruce Schneier has deftly explained here."
