Product Description
Amazon.co.uk Review
The business opportunities of the Internet can seem overshadowed by the dangers, with news stories about hackers breaking into computer systems. Many of the attacks are known and any business wanting to go online can minimise the threat by taking precautions and creating a security policy covering not just the physical and network security elements but also the individual responsibilities of network users. Written by experienced security architects, The Internet Security Guidebook shows you how to protect your business, starting with a comprehensive security review.
There's a thorough section on passwords and password management. The useful overview of firewalls leads into an assessment form to help you define the type of firewall you need. There's a chapter on how to handle security incidents and a useful overview of cryptography and public key infrastructures before the book introduces secure networks and the tools you can use to reduce the risks to your company, including SSL.
Other security technologies covered include authentication tools and how to protect your e-mail system. The book is up to date--for example it covers the recent spate of VBScript e-mail worms--and it's thorough; it's written by people who know what they're doing.
This isn't a book for security engineers or experts; you won't learn how to configure a firewall. Instead it's aimed at IT directors and managers who need to ensure the security of their company. But if you're looking for tools to help you manage a risk analysis and plan a security policy this very useful book will help you get your company in shape for the Internet. --Penny Jannifer

Excellent Security Handbook for any IT Exec, 16 July 2001
By "mike@dennehy.com" - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: The Internet Security Guidebook: From Planning to Deployment (The Korper and Ellis E-Commerce Books Series) (Paperback)
This book surprised me with its ability to break through the technical jargon and explain security in a very familiar sense. It gives an item-by-item breakdown of what companies need to do to get their networks in order. It also explains the pitfalls and the potential consequences very well. It should be on the bookshelf of every company's security auditor. I found it to be invaluable as a resource and very helpful in finding ways to expand my knowledge deeper into the areas of interest to me. It is obvious the authors are not only technically sound but have an understanding of what it all means from the business side. I would highly recommend it!

A very Good Security Book, 20 Feb 2001
By Harold Campos - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: The Internet Security Guidebook: From Planning to Deployment (The Korper and Ellis E-Commerce Books Series) (Paperback)
Well, this book is a very important guide to understand the security's role in a company Internet involved. I'm working in a systems consultant company and we had developed a lot of systems but some of them without the basic rules of the Internet Security. It's a very good book.I'm looking for another books of the same quality.
