The New State of the Art in Information Security: Now Covers Cloud
Computing, the Internet of Things, and Cyberwarfare Students and IT
and security professionals have long relied on Security in
Computing as the definitive guide to computer security attacks and
countermeasures. Now, the authors have thoroughly updated this
classic to reflect today's newest technologies, attacks, standards,
and trends. Security in Computing, Fifth Edition, offers complete,
timely coverage of all aspects of computer security, including
users, software, devices, operating systems, networks, and data.
Reflecting rapidly evolving attacks, countermeasures, and computing
environments, this new edition introduces best practices for
authenticating users, preventing malicious code execution, using
encryption, protecting privacy, implementing firewalls, detecting
intrusions, and more. More than two hundred end-of-chapter
exercises help the student to solidify lessons learned in each
chapter. Combining breadth, depth, and exceptional clarity, this
comprehensive guide builds carefully from simple to complex topics,
so you always understand all you need to know before you move
forward. You'll start by mastering the field's basic terms,
principles, and concepts. Next, you'll apply these basics in
diverse situations and environments, learning to "think like an
attacker" and identify exploitable weaknesses. Then you will switch
to defense, selecting the best available solutions and
countermeasures. Finally, you'll go beyond technology to understand
crucial management issues in protecting infrastructure and data.
