Description
Network Security is a comprehensive resource written for anyone who plans or implements network security measures, including
managers and practitioners. It offers a valuable dual perspective on security: how your network looks to hackers who want to get inside,
and how you need to approach it on the inside to keep them at bay.
You get all the hands-on technical advice you need to succeed,
but also higher-level administrative guidance for developing an effective security policy. There may be no such thing as absolute security,
but, as the author clearly demonstrates, there is a huge difference between the protection offered by routine reliance on third-party
products and what you can achieve by actively making informed decisions. You’ll learn to do just that with this book’s assessments of
the risks, rewards, and trade-offs related implementing security measures.
