Implementing Enterprise Cybersecurity with Open-source Software and Standard Architecture (River Publishers Series in Security and Digital Forensics)

Many small and medium scale businesses cannot afford to procure expensive cybersecurity tools. In many cases, even after procurement, lack of a workforce with knowledge of the standard architecture of enterprise security, tools are often used ineffectively. The editors have developed multiple projects which can help in developing cybersecurity solution architectures and the use of the right tools from the open-source software domain. This book has 8 chapters describing these projects in detail with recipes on how to use open-source tooling to obtain standard cyber defense and the ability to do self-penetration testing and vulnerability assessment. This book also demonstrates work related to malware analysis using machine learning and implementation of honeypots, network Intrusion Detection Systems in a security operation center environment. It is essential reading for cybersecurity professionals and advanced students.
