Book Description

0122374711 978-0122374715 February 5, 2001 1
The Internet Security Guidebook provides a complete analysis of an enterprise's Internet security. Strategies, steps, and procedures for conducting business securely on the Internet are discussed and reviewed. Very few organizations take the needed precautions to protect their Internet enterprise. Protection is not simply a firewall or technology; it is a strategy that encompasses risk, trust, business goals, security processes, and technology. The holistic approach offered in this book evaluates security needs in relation to business goals and the current attacks on the global Internet. The goal of The Internet Security Guidebook is to protect the business-computing environment by keeping our online enterprises functioning correctly and securely.

Unlike other books available, this book contains a complete guide to Internet security that is accessible to both novices and computer professionals. The specific steps discussed and illustrated show the reader how to implement security from the individual process to the complete corporate enterprise. The reader will also learn about resources that can help such as the Computer Emergency Response Team (CERT), the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI), and even their own software vendors.

From the Back Cover

This book will help the CEO, the CIO, information technology managers, and business persons with an interest in the architecture, design, and configuration of a secure computing environment.
This book discusses and reviews the strategies, steps, and procedures necessary to conduct business securely on the Internet.
The Internet Security Guidebook: From Planning to Deployment provides an analysis of an enterprise's complete Internet security. Very few organizations take the needed precautions to protect their Internet-facing enterprises. Protection for the Internet-facing enterprise is not just a firewall; it is a strategy that encompasses risk, trust, business goals, security processes, and technology. The holistic approach, offered in this book, evaluates the security needs in relation to the business goals and the current attacks on our Internet. Specific steps that show the reader how to implement security from the individual process to the complete corporate enterprise are discussed and illustrated.


From the Foreword by William P. Crowell, President and CEO of Cylink Corporation and former Deputy Directory of the NSA:
This book is aimed at providing the reader, in plain English, an understanding of the business risks, the threats, the tools for dealing with the threats, and the processes needed to build more secure systems and continually improve them. The authors understand that the primary objective for the business users of security products is to build businesses that work and make money, not to build fortresses that no one can enter. They emphasize the practical and pragmatic approaches to securing e-business.

5.0 out of 5 stars Excellent Security Handbook for any IT Exec, July 15, 2001
This review is from: The Internet Security Guidebook: From Planning to Deployment (The Korper and Ellis E-Commerce Books Series) (Paperback)
This book surprised me with its ability to break through the technical jargon and explain security in a very familiar sense. It gives an item-by-item breakdown of what companies need to do to get their networks in order. It also explains the pitfalls and the potential consequences very well. It should be on the bookshelf of every company's security auditor. I found it to be invaluable as a resource and very helpful in finding ways to expand my knowledge deeper into the areas of interest to me. It is obvious the authors are not only technically sound but have an understanding of what it all means from the business side. I would highly recommend it!

4.0 out of 5 stars A very Good Security Book, February 19, 2001
This review is from: The Internet Security Guidebook: From Planning to Deployment (The Korper and Ellis E-Commerce Books Series) (Paperback)
Well, this book is a very important guide to understand the security's role in a company Internet involved. I'm working in a systems consultant company and we had developed a lot of systems but some of them without the basic rules of the Internet Security. It's a very good book.I'm looking for another books of the same quality.
