Drawing on decades of experience, Chuck Easttom brings together updated coverage of all the concepts, terminology, techniques, and solutions you'll need to be effective.

Next, he shows how encryption can be used to safeguard data as it moves across networks. You'll learn how to harden operating systems, defend against malware and network attacks, establish robust security policies, and assess network security using industry-leading standards and models. You'll also find thorough coverage of key issues such as physical security, forensics, and cyberterrorism. Throughout, Easttom blends theory and application, helping you understand both what to do and why.
