Administrators and IT Managersby
Tim Speed, Juanita Ellis ISBN:

Internet Security incorporates not only the
technology needed to support a solid security strategy but
also those policies and processes that must be incorporated in
order for that strategy to work. New methods of breaking into
corporate networks are resulting in major losses.

This book provides the latest information on
how to guard against attacks and informs the
IT manager of the products that can detect and prevent
break-ins. Crucial concepts such as authentication and
encryption are explained, enab-ling the reader to understand
when and where these technologies will be useful. Due to the
authors' experiences in helping corporations develop secure
networks, they are able to include the newest methods for
protecting corporate data.
This book is an
execellent resource for an IT Manager or
Security Administrator trying to establish security
policy and procedure. The subtitle - A
Jumpstart for Systems Administrators and IT Managers -
says it all. Internet Security contains a lot of information
on networking technology and concepts and various security
technologies such as cryptography and firewalls. But, if you
are looking for in-depth knowledge on these topics there are
better books. The true value in this book lies in the way the
authors walk you through defining policy and procedure. The
various sections provide hints of what you should include or
the questions you should ask yourself and the resources and
vendor info are very useful for contacting the right
sources.
