White-Hat Security Arsenal. Tackling The Threats (Broché)

How do I allow secure remote access to my site ? How do I protect data on my laptop in case it's stolen? How should I configure my firewall ? Will I regret using my credit card online ? How will the bad guys attack ? If these are some of the questions that keep you awake at night, you need to read this book. As a computer security expert at AT&T Labs, author Avi Rubin regularly meets with IT staffs from all types of companies. When asked to recommend resource material to his customers, Rubin realized that there just wasn't a book on the market that would give them concise, direct answers to all their security questions. So he wrote one. Using a problem-oriented approach, Rubin walks you through everything from protecting against network threats to using credit cards on the Web. Each chapter begins with a problem statement, continues with a description of the threat, explains the technologies involved, and then offers solutions. Chapters conclude with one or more case studies. Whether you are an IT professional, a system administrator, an academic, or simply a regular Internet user, White-Hat Security Arsenal is full of information you can't afford to miss.
