Book Description:
Network security is not simply about building impenetrable walls - determined attackers will eventually overcome traditional defenses. The most effective computer security strategies integrate network security monitoring (NSM): the collection and analysis of data to help you detect and respond to intrusions. In The Practice of Network Security Monitoring, Mandiant CSO Richard Bejtlich shows you how to use NSM to add a robust layer of protection around your networks - no prior experience required. To help you avoid costly and inflexible solutions, he teaches you how to deploy, build, and run an NSM operation using open source software and vendor-neutral tools. You'll learn how to: Determine where to deploy NSM platforms, and size them for the monitored networksDeploy stand-alone or distributed NSM installationsUse command line and graphical packet analysis tools, and NSM consolesInterpret network evidence from server-side and client-side intrusionsIntegrate threat intelligence into NSM software to identify sophisticated adversariesThere's no foolproof way to keep attackers out of your network. But when they get in, you'll be prepared. The Practice of Network Security Monitoring will show you how to build a security net to detect, contain, and control them. Attacks are inevitable, but losing sensitive data shouldn't be.
Beyond Intrusion Detection
"The book you are about to read will arm you with the knowledge you need to defend your network from attackers-both the obvious and the not so obvious.... If you are new to network security, don't put this book back on the shelf! This is a great book for beginners and I wish I had access to it many years ago. If you've learned the basics of TCP/IP protocols and run an open source or commercial IDS, you may be asking 'What's next?' If so, this book is for you." -Ron Gula, founder and CTO, Tenable Network Security, from the Foreword "Richard Bejtlich has a good perspective on Internet security-one that is orderly and practical at the same time. He keeps readers grounded and addresses the fundamentals in an accessible way." -Marcus...
Here's a practical book that introduces fundamental network security concepts, principles, and terms. It helps you identify the best type of intrusion detection system, develop organizational guidelines for passwords, set computer security policies, and perform a security review and risk assessment....
Understanding the Fundamentals of InfoSec in Theory and Practice
2nd Edition
As part of the Syngress Basics series, The Basics of Information Security provides you with fundamental knowledge of information security in both theoretical and practical aspects. Author Jason Andress gives you the basic knowledge needed to understand the key concepts of confidentiality, integrity, and availability, and then dives into practical applications of these ideas in the areas of operational, physical, network, application, and operating system security. The Basics of Information Security gives you clear-non-technical explanations of how infosec works and how to apply these principles whether you're in the IT field or want to understand how i...
