Book description:
Protecting computer networks and their client computers
against attacks is a growing concern for organizations
and their information technology managers. This book draws upon the
author's years of experience in computer security to describe a set of
over 200 "rules" designed to enhance the security of a computer network
(and its data) and to allow quick detection of an attack and
development of effective defensive responses to attacks.
Both novice and experienced network administrators will find this
book an essential part of their professional "tool kit." It is also
essential reading for a corporate or organization manager who needs a
solid understanding of the issues involved in computer security.
This book presents a
simple set of rules important in maintaining good information security.
These rules or best practices are intended to be a recipe for setting
up network and information security. This manual will take the mystery
out of configuring an information security solution and provide a
framework that the novice as well as experienced network administrator
can follow and adapt to their network and data environment.
