The New State-of-the-Art in Information Security: Now Covers the
Economics of Cyber Security and the Intersection of Privacy and
Information Security For years, IT and security professionals and
students have turned to "Security in Computing" as the definitive
guide to information about computer security attacks and
countermeasures. In their new fourth edition, Charles P. Pfleeger
and Shari Lawrence Pfleeger have thoroughly updated their classic
guide to reflect today's newest technologies, standards, and
trends. The authors first introduce the core concepts and
vocabulary of computer security, including attacks and controls.
Next, the authors systematically identify and assess threats now
facing programs, operating systems, database systems, and networks.
For each threat, they offer best-practice responses. "Security in
Computing, Fourth Edition," goes beyond technology, covering
crucial management issues faced in protecting infrastructure and
information. This edition contains an all-new chapter on the
economics of cybersecurity, explaining ways to make a business case
for security investments. Another new chapter addresses
privacy--from data mining and identity theft, to RFID and e-voting.
New coverage also includes
- Programming mistakes that compromise security:
man-in-the-middle, timing, and privilege escalation attacks
- Web application threats and vulnerabilities
- Networks of compromised systems: bots, botnets, and drones
- Rootkits--including the notorious Sony XCP
- Wi-Fi network security challenges, standards, and
techniques
- New malicious code attacks, including false interfaces and
keystroke loggers
- Improving code quality: software engineering, testing, and
liability approaches
- Biometric authentication: capabilities and limitations
- Using the Advanced Encryption System (AES) more
effectively
- Balancing dissemination with piracy control in music and other
digital content
- Countering new cryptanalytic attacks against RSA, DES, and
SHA
- Responding to the emergence of organized attacker groups
