Privacy Issues And Solutions In Social Network Sites, Xi Chen, Katina Michael
Associate Professor Katina Michael
The boom of the internet and the explosion of new technologies have brought with them new challenges and thus new connotations of privacy. Clearly, when people deal with e-government and e-business, they do not only need the right to be let alone, but also to be let in secret.

Austin [7] also asserts: “[w]e do need to sharpen and …

Book Review: Security Risk Management: Building An Information Security Risk Management Program From The Ground Up, Katina Michael
Associate Professor Katina Michael
