Product Description
Product Description
This book provides a business and technical overview of SSL VPN technology in a highly readable style. It provides a vendor-neutral introduction to SSL VPN technology for system architects, analysts and managers engaged in evaluating and planning an SSL VPN implementation.
About the Author
Joseph Steinberg is CEO of Green Armor Solutions, an information-systems security product vendor specializing in technology that combats phishing, pharming, and online fraud. Prior to joining Green Armor, he spent more than four years with Whale Communications, one of the pioneers of SSL VPN technology. Earlier, he served in senior-management capacities at several product vendors and consulting firms, and worked in technical positions at Citibank and AT&T. Mr. Steinberg's May 2003 article 'SSL VPN Security' introduced an awareness of critical security issues created by SSL VPN technology; since its publication, nearly every SSL VPN vendor has acted upon the concerns and recommendations made in the article. Mr. Steinberg earned an M.S. in Computer Science from NYU, and holds a CISSP (Certified Information Systems Security Professional) credential as well as advanced certifications in IT security management (ISSMP) and architecture (ISSAP). He has lectured on topics related to IT Security and Management and is the author of numerous articles in various journals, magazines, and other publications. A recognized expert on IT security, he is also interviewed on a regular basis by media personalities and sits on panels discussing IT-security related matters. Mr. Steinberg lives in the suburbs of New York City with his wife and two daughters.

good vpn book
2 Jun 2005
Format:Paperback
"SSL VPN - Understanding, evaluating and planning secure, web-based remote access" - the only thing wordy about this book is its title. The rest of the book delivers information clearly and concisely through text, diagrams and examples. "Hacker Bob" animates key passages to keep things from getting dry.
As expected, the audience for this book is techies. Basic network concepts are explained, so anyone with a technical background will understand. Any network fundamentals quickly lead to SSL VPN applications.
The authors are good about explaining "why" and providing the pros/cons of a decision. Key criteria are also provided for both technical and business decisions. I found one of the most valuable parts to be about bad architectures. The authors illustrate several common architectures and point out weaknesses. The focus on diagrams and flow was quite useful.

A consultation...that's it.

This book was a huge disappointment. I know a number of computer languages, worked with servers and the web, so I wasn't afraid of tackling something new. Unfortunately, getting this book was like getting a consultation. It tells you all about it, what you need, and why it works, but something critical is left out WHAT to do, HOW to do it. I put it down still having no clue how to implement it. When I move to a new office, I will leave it behind to gather dust.
