I. Threats, risk and risk assessments -- Information security threats and risk -- Modeling information security risk -- II. Scientific fundamentals -- Physics and information security -- Electromagnetic waves -- III. The compromise of signals -- Signals of information security -- The compromise of electromagnetic signals -- Countermeasures to electromagnetic signal compromises -- Visual information security -- Audible information security -- IV. Information technology risk -- Information technology risk factors -- Information technology risk measurements and metrics -- Special information technology risk measurements and metrics -- V. The physical security of information assets -- Physical security controls -- Data centers : a concentration of information security risk.
Provides the scientific background, analytic methods, and quantitative metrics to allow scientists and engineers with no background in security to estimate vulnerability to a spectrum of information security threats. Explores the physical nature of information security risk, and in so doing exposes connections between information security, physical security, information technology, and information theory.
