Description
Network Security: a practical guide provides a comprehensive review of network security issues, with relevance to corporate
networks, from
both an administrative and user perspective. It is particularly suited to IS executives, administrators and managers who
wish to review their own network security procedures or for those who simply want to learn more about the network security issues that
face their organization.
The book covers a broad range of issues, starting with an assessment of network security, including the financial
implications of security breaches, and moving on to discuss the different types of security threats facing computer networks. Particular
attention is also given to the legal framework for network security. Attention is then turned to increasing security awareness and readiness,
including system configuration, acceptable use, business continuity, and explaining technical solutions available such as firewalls and
content control.
Introduction of a security policy is widely accepted as best practise in informing and educating users, and the final
chapter is devoted to policy writing. By the end of the book readers should be ready to create and implement a network security policy
for their organization and start reducing overheads and downtime immediately!
