Are you vulnerable to prying eyes?

In just one day, Ira Winkler stole a billion dollars' worth of information from a leading corporation. Then he gave it back. That's his job. Companies pay him top dollar to expose the weaknesses of their own information security. This is how they learn from their mistakes. Now you can, too.

The Christian Science Monitor and USA Weekend have compared Mr. Winkler to a modern-day James Bond. The real-life case histories he shares here read like spy thrillers, but they serve a larger purpose: they uncover what you need to know to protect your documents and your company from prying eyes.

Learn how to bulletproof your business from this former National Security Agency expert. If your company has any information of value, you can't afford to ignore the lessons in this fascinating book.

The book that scares the CEO or the Chairman. Tells in simple terms (with a lot of case studies) what is really happening.
