Abstract:
Get to grips with key ISO27000 and information security vocabulary with this indispensable, concise pocket guide! Information security is of crucial importance to your business.

The combined glossary is a revised edition of the popular A Dictionary of Information Security Terms , and this new edition has been able to draw on the definitions provided in ISO/IEC 27000:2009 - Security Techniques - Information security management systems - Overview and vocabulary .
