Computers are now firmly embedded in the structure of industry and commerce.
Once regarded with awe and suspicion, today they are viewed matter-of-factly
as useful management tools. Yet our over familiarity with them can foster
lazy usage, so that they are not utilized to the full.

It is now understood that there are two keys to effective computer use. One
is managing the information. The other is ensuring that information remains
secure. Information Management & Computer Security tackles these two
closely-related issues succinctly and proficiently. Authoritative, practical
information presented in a lively, non-technical style.

Editorial objectives:

Information Management & Computer Security contributes to the advance of
knowledge directly related to the theory and practice of the management and
security of information and information systems. It publishes methodological
developments, empirical studies and practical applications.

Emphasis is placed on systematic studies that contribute to the general
understanding of the power and usefulness of information and hence
contribute to more effective management. It allows leading computer security
specialists from around the world to express their concerns, describe new
techniques and discuss strategies for achieving security objectives. Above
all, the journal encourages the development of information security
consciousness and aims to present actionable ideas rather than theories.

Editorial scope:

Whilst almost any topic related to the management or security of information
will be considered, a number of areas of particular interest are listed
below:

    * surveys of current information management and security practice;
    * links between information systems management or security and business
strategy
    * the "information economy", management or security;
    * telecommunications management and security policy;
    * data protection and legal issues;
    * all aspects of information security - availability, integrity and
confidentiality;
    * threats/solutions in all these areas;
    * people issues as well as technology issues;
    * mainframe to micro;
    * changes in working practices and teleworking.

The editors will also consider tutorial papers which present
state-of-the-art material which aim to instruct and educate the reader
without necessarily containing any innovative material.
