Editorial Reviews

Review

"Michael has unquestionable knowledge about how organizations today are linking their systems across enterprise-wide networks and virtual private networks (VPNs), as well as increasing their exposure to customers, competitors, browsers, hackers, and physical threats to the facility equipment and network(s). This book will show you how each connection magnifies the vulnerability to attack. This book also provides the fundamental knowledge you need to analyze electronic and physical risks to your networks and systems." -John Vacca, Author of numerous computer security books

5.0 out of 5 stars PUTTING "PHYSICAL" BACK INTO PHYSICAL SECURITY!, August 14, 2005
The obsession about cyber security has far too often overshadowed the need for improving physical security of IT. Author Michael Erbschloe has done an outstanding job in this book of showing organizations how to design and implement security plans to prevent the physical destruction of, or tampering with computers, network equipment, and telecommunications systems.

Erbschloe begins this book by providing an overview of physical security and the many reasons it is so important. Next, the author covers the process of establishing a physical IT security function in an organization. In addition, the author presents the steps to developing a physical security plan. He also explains the major elements of a physical security plan, including the overview and mission statement, assignment of organizational responsibilities, the use of duty officers, and the management of contact lists. Then, he provides a detailed discussion on how to develop and document methods and procedures for the planning areas. The author then covers the importance of testing and how to test and audit procedures. Next, he covers the steps for managing response to an incident. Then, he presents a model training program for physical IT security. Finally, he takes a look at the future of physical security for IT assets.

With the preceding in mind, the author has done an excellent job of providing the reader with a practical, easy to understand and readily usable advice to help his or her organization improve physical security for IT, network and telecom assets. At the end of the day, you, the reader, will have a clear understanding that the struggle to improve physical security will continue well into thefuture.

2.0 out of 5 stars Not what I thought it would be, November 15, 2006
By Security in Texas (Houston, Texas) - See all my reviews
A lot of process but not enough insight. Having a procedure to address an issue is fine, but without better information about why and examples, I didn't feel I got all I needed from this book. Sadly there simply aren't too many physical security books from an IT perspective out there. So if you just want a process to follow, and that's all you need - this may be a book for you.
