Review
"After reviewing this book, I would heartily recommend it as a 'must read' for any person serious about security on their HP NonStop servers!!!!!"
Mark Chapman, HP NonStop Accredited Systems Engineer
"This is an impressive volume on security. If a reader picks only one area to view, I believe Part 7 should be required reading for anyone running an application on HP NonStop servers. It goes into detail with good explanations for the security of source code, objects, and files. It is obvious that the team who created this reference guide is expert in this subject matter."

Product Description
Since the last publication of the Ernst and Young book on Tandem security in the early 90's, there has been no such book on the subject. We've taken on the task of supplying a new Handbook whose content provides current, generic information about securing HP NonStop servers. Emphasis is placed on explaining security risks and best practices relevant to NonStop environments, and how to deploy native security tools (Guardian and Safeguard). All third party vendors who supply security solutions relevant to NonStop servers are listed, along with contact information for each vendor. The Handbook is a source for critical information to NonStop professionals and NonStop security administrators in particular. However, it is written in such a way as to also be extremely useful to readers new to the NonStop platform and to information security.
This handbook familiarizes auditors and those responsible for security configuration and monitoring with the aspects of the HP NonStop server operating system that make the NonStop Server unique, the security risks these aspects create, and the best ways to mitigate these risks.
· Addresses the lack of security standards for the NonStop server
· Provides information robust enough to train more security-knowledgeable staff
· The ideal accompaniment to any new HP NonStop system

A Must Book for IT Auditors, 5 Sep 2007
By J. CASTILLO "audit jockey" - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: HP NonStop Server Security: A Practical Handbook (HP Technologies) (Paperback)
Excellent book for IT auditors and security staff. Presents SafeGuard and Guardian settings and parameters. Also provides format of significant commands to enter in order to obtain informatin from the system. Risks and recommended settings are included for all areas. Book provides more audit information than regular HP Tandem technical manuals with tons of usefull information. Over 600 pages of Tandem security, audit and control details. The only weakness may be that much of the related information is in different places. In otherwords, an item is mentioned in chapter one but more details are provided in chapter 4. But once you understand the structure of the book, its easier to find the materials. Also, as a suggestion, it should list in generalities areas to audit in order of sigificance. This would help the reader to prioritise areas and audit tasks.

By A Customer - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: HP NonStop Server Security: A Practical Handbook (HP Technologies) (Paperback)
Tandem security people have been waiting for years for a helpful tool such as this to guide us through the important aspects of our job. I highly recommend it and found the depth of information to be very impressive.

Review of HP Nonstop Server Security, 18 Feb 2004
By A Customer - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: HP NonStop Server Security: A Practical Handbook (HP Technologies) (Paperback)
The book is not accurate in MANY of its suggestions.e.g. it claims, that a NSK user NEEDS to run a $CMON process to gain a maximum of security, which for sure is misleading the reader.
The requirements to the C compiler for using PATHMAKER is totally incorrect.
And this goes on-and-on-and-on.
It is NOT worth the money!
Listmania!
