A propos du livre

Quatrième de couverture

"In Internet Lockdown, Tim Crothers navigates the confusion surrounding Internet security by combining the same practical, intelligent approach he contributes to the revolutionary threat management solutions of ITM Technology LLC." ––Daniel M. Helmholdt, Managing Partner, ITM Technology LLC

There′s no such thing as 100 percent security – unless you unplug your hardware and bury it. But there are a lot of things you can do to minimize the risk of intrusion, many of which are relatively easy (and inexpensive) to accomplish. Written by a top security expert and peppered with real–world insights and anecdotes, this authoritative book shows you how to map out a balanced, practical security plan. The author pinpoints all of today′s most popular Internet attacks. He describes in detail the kinds of security controls you need to put in place at each level of your system. And he walks you through a vivid security implementation example, spotlighting the issues you need to address each step of the way. Get the Practical Know–How You Need to Protect Your System
