By George L Stefanek
Description Protecting computer networks and their client computers against willful (or accidental) attacks is a growing concern for organizations
and their information technology managers. This book draws upon the author's years of experience in computer security to describe a set
of over 200 "rules" designed to enhance the security of a computer network (and its data) and to allow quick detection of an attack and
development of effective defensive responses to attacks. Both novice and experienced network administrators will find this book an essential
part of their professional "tool kit." It is also essential reading for a corporate or organization manager who needs a solid understanding
of the issues involved in computer security.
Much literature is available on network and data security that describes security concepts,
but offers so many different solutions to information security problems that it typically overwhelms both the novice and the experienced
network administrator. This book presents a simple set of rules important in maintaining good information security. These rules or best
practices are intended to be a recipe for setting up network and information security. This manual will take the mystery out of configuring
an information security solution and provide a framework which the novice as well as experienced network administrator can follow and
adapt to their network and data environment.
Audience
Information technology managers, system administrators, network engineers, and others concerned with issues of network and computer security.
