The Internet Security Guidebook: From Planning to Deployment

Author: Juanita Ellis

This book will help the CEO, the CIO, information technology managers, and business persons with an interest in the architecture, design, and configuration of a secure computing environment.
This book discusses and reviews the strategies, steps, and procedures necessary to conduct business securely on the Internet.
The Internet Security Guidebook: From Planning to Deployment provides an analysis of an enterprise's complete Internet security. Very few organizations take the needed precautions to protect their Internet-facing enterprises. Protection for the Internet-facing enterprise is not just a firewall; it is a strategy that encompasses risk, trust, business goals, security processes, and technology. The holistic approach, offered in this book, evaluates the security needs in relation to the business goals and the current attacks on our Internet. Specific steps that show the reader how to implement security from the individual process to the complete corporate enterprise are discussed and illustrated.


From the Foreword by William P. Crowell, President and CEO of Cylink Corporation and former Deputy Directory of the NSA:
This book is aimed at providing the reader, in plain English, an understanding of the business risks, the threats, the tools for dealing with the threats, and the processes needed to build more secure systems and continually improve them. The authors understand that the primary objective for the business users of security products is to build businesses that work and make money, not to build fortresses that no one can enter. They emphasize the practical and pragmatic approaches to securing e-business.
