As global networks expand the interconnection of the worldâ??s technically complex infrastructure, communication and computing systems gain added importance. Information security has gained increased importance as a professional practice. We only recently are witnessing the emergence of information security as an academic discipline. Recent events and attacks point out the weaknesses inherent in unprotected systems and expose the need for heightened security of these systems. In order to secure technologically advanced systems and networks, education and the infrastructure to deliver that education is needed to prepare the next generation of professionals as they develop a more secure and ethical computing environment. Therefore, improved tools and more sophisticated techniques are needed to prepare students of technology to recognize the threats and vulnerabilities present in existing systems and learn to design and develop the secure systems needed in the near future. This collection of works is designed to supplement other works in examining the management of information security. The text focuses on specific aspects in the management of information security â?? specifically ether current recommended practices or the legal and ethical issues associated with the following domains:

â?¢ Information Security Policy
â?¢ Information Security Strategic Planning
â?¢ Disaster Recovery and Business Continuity Planning
â?¢ Risk Management
â?¢ Regulatory Compliance
â?¢ Incident Response Planning
â?¢ Information Security Performance Metrics
â?¢ Privacy
â?¢ Other topics related to Information Security Management
