We live in a wired society, with computers containing and passing around vital information on both personal and public matters. Keeping this data safe is of paramount concern to all. Yet, not a day seems able to pass without some new threat to our computers. Unfortunately, the march of technology has given us the benefits of computers and electronic tools, while also opening us to unforeseen dangers. Identity theft, electronic spying, and the like are now standard worries. In the effort to defend both personal privacy and crucial databases, computer security has become a key industry. A vast array of companies devoted to defending computers from hackers and viruses have cropped up. Research and academic institutions devote a considerable amount of time and effort to the study of information systems and computer security. Anyone with access to a computer needs to be aware of the developing trends and growth of computer security. To that end, this book presents a comprehensive and carefully selected bibliography of the literature most relevant to understanding computer security. Following the bibliography section, continued access is provided via author, title, and subject indexes. With such a format, this book serves as an important guide and reference tool in the defence of our computerised culture.

We reviewed information system general controls' at the Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) in connection with VA's required annual consolidated financial statement audit for fiscal year 1998. Our evaluation included follow-up on departmentwide computer security planning and management weaknesses and specific computer security weaknesses we identified at the Austin Automation Center (AAC) in conjunction with the audit of VA's fiscal year 1997 financial statements. On June 8, 1999, we issued a separate report to the acting VA Chief Information Officer (CIO) and the director of AAC that details the results of our review at AAC. We also reviewed VA Office of Inspector General (OIG) and consultant reports regarding computer security at Veterans Benefits Administration (VBA) and Veterans Health Administration (VHA) facilities. These site reports included recommendations to correct the security weaknesses identified. The results of our underlying reviews were shared with VAs Office of Inspector General (OIG) for its use in auditing VA's consolidated financial statements for fiscal year 1998.
