Synopsis

Previous information security references do not address the gulf between general security awareness and the specific technical steps that need to be taken to protect information assets. Surviving Security: How to Integrate People, Process, and Technology, Second Edition fills this void by explaining security through a holistic approach that considers both the overall security infrastructure and the roles of each individual component. This book provides a blueprint for creating and executing sound security policy. The author examines the costs and complications involved, covering security measures such as encryption, authentication, firewalls, intrusion detection, remote access, host security, server security, and more. After reading this book, you will know how to make educated security decisions that provide airtight, reliable solutions.

About this title

From the Back Cover:

Surviving Security addresses a breadth of security technologies and processes, including policy, encryption, physical security, and maintenance, while continually answering the following questions that are critical to network administrators and managers:

* Why is this technology/practice important to a security infrastructure?
* How does this fit into the larger security layer model?
* What different options-technology and vendor-are available for this area (vendor-specific reviews will be placed primarily on the companion web site) and what is the cost of implementing these options?
