***Larstan Business Reports Information Warfare a Worsening
Threat

Feb. 15, 2005

Information security in the corporate sector is woefully
inadequate, a growing problem that leaves an opening for
"cyber terrorists" to wreak enormous damage to companies and
the economy, warned a gathering of the world's leading
security experts in San Francisco.

"There has been a bewildering change in how companies protect
important information assets," says eBay's Chief Information
Security Officer, Howard Schmidt. "Threats have grown more
complicated, and so have the solutions."

To underscore the increasingly pervasive nature of the threat,
Schmidt collaborated with several influential security experts
to write a new book, "The Black Book on Corporate Security,"
published by Larstan Business Reports, Inc. The book details
the nature of the problem and provides the tactics,
technologies, standards and strategies to help companies
protect their Information Technology systems from internal and
external attack.

Schmidt serves as Special Adviser for Cyberspace Security for
the White House. He co-wrote a Black Book chapter titled:
"Defending the Digital You: How to Fight Online Identity
Theft." To download a free copy of the chapter, go to:
