Web-based or “e-businesses” integrate and deliver critical enterprise information and applications and provide a wide range of connections between businesses and their partners, customers, employees, and suppliers.
The ability to reach this broad audience brings with it greater security demands. The potential risks of exposing private or privileged information, or high-value business transactions to accidental or deliberate intrusion can have a devastating impact on your business.
This chapter discusses primary security issues that you should consider when planning your security strategy, and describes Enterprise Security mechanisms designed to protect your e-business.
