Charles P. Pfleeger, Shari Lawrence Pfleeger, "Analyzing Computer Security: A Threat / Vulnerability / Countermeasure Approach"
2011 | ISBN: 0132789469 | scanned PDF | 848 pages | 239 MB
Analyzing Computer Security is a fresh, modern, and relevant introduction to computer security. Organized around today's key attacks, vulnerabilities, and countermeasures, it helps you think critically and creatively about computer security-so you can prevent serious problems and mitigate the effects of those that still occur.
In this new book, renowned security and software engineering experts Charles P. Pfleeger and Shari Lawrence Pfleeger-authors of the classic Security in Computing-teach security the way modern security professionals approach it: by identifying the people or things that may cause harm, uncovering weaknesses that can be exploited, and choosing and applying the right protections. With this approach, not only will you study cases of attacks that have occurred, but you will also learn to apply this methodology to new situations.
The book covers "hot button" issues, such as authentication failures, network interception, and denial of service. You also gain new insight into broader themes, including risk analysis, usability, trust, privacy, ethics, and forensics. One step at a time, the book systematically helps you develop the problem-solving skills needed to protect any information infrastructure.
