Synopsis

Whether you are the only employee of a startup, a systems administrator managing a critical web server, a security consultant, or a systems manager overseeing an entire networked organization, this book provides you with an in-depth view of the risks in today's rapidly changing and increasingly insecure networked and digitally enabled environment. It will help you understand and analyze the risks involved and determine what level of security is needed; maintain a security system; formulate, implement, and streamline a usable policy; protect your Web setup from intrusion, sabotage, eavesdropping and tampering; scan the network for loopholes using the same array of tools hackers use; protect against active content, cookies, malicious code and hostile Java applets; secure electronic commerce and choose the right type of digital payment; select, secure, configure and set up firewalls; secure an extended and distributed enterprise network or Virtual Private Network.
