A reader (Plano, TX United States) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Planning for Survivable Networks (Paperback)
In Planning for Survivable Networks, Hines lays out 21 top vulnerabilities for network disasters. She shows the opportunities for the hackers, the types of disasters--intentional and unintentional--and most importantly, the planning for preventing them. She gives illustration what damages can be done to the property, the business, and the systems. For either physical disaster or a cyber-attack, planning for survival is essential. For this, she provides a great deal of examples and the consideration for network survival planning. Hines also discusses how to perform network recovery and restoration from the attack and what's important to prepare to handle an attack again. In sum, this book contains wealth of information about the likelihood of network breakdown and the planning necessary for disaster handling. It is easy reading for experienced professionals. For beginners, it's also a useful resource about Network Security in addition to the Network textbooks.

5.0 out of 5 stars Right On, September 10, 2002
By A Customer
This review is from: Planning for Survivable Networks (Paperback)
Finally, updated info on setting up decent disaster recovery that I can understand. The other books I tried were completely outdated and way too detailed. If you need a plain English explanation of disaster recovery, and who doesn't these days, get this book.
