If you are using the Internet to conduct professional or personal business, you want to know your Internet connection is secure. This book gives you all the information and tools you need to keep the hackers out and the mission-critical information in. It takes you through planning, implementing, and administering a secure Internet connection--from understanding UUCP and auditing to encryption and firewalls to understanding viruses. A comprehensive resource for security and network professionals alike, this book will show you how to use and implement the latest technologies in the most secure fashion, including Java, CGI, and Windows NT.Amazon.com Review  This is a big book--more than 850 pages. And the type is  small, too. It has precisely what's needed to pack a comprehensive  resource on Internet security into a single volume. The authors don't  waste space on philosophizing or lecturing about security--they simply  lay out what a site manager needs to know, beginning with the basics  of TCP/IP. The book presents a five-part approach. Part one deals with  security management, including TCP/IP, daemons, UUCP, and audit  trails. Part two switches perspectives to that of the intruder,  showing ways of gaining illicit accesses and how attempts to do so can  be thwarted. Part three examines the challenges of creating secure  channels for messaging. Part four shows how to deal with security  concerns raised by Windows NT, Java, and various viruses. Part five  contains the appendices, offering an array of security references and  resources where site managers can find further and updated  information. While the need to cram such a vast storehouse of  information into the books rarely allows for a relaxed style of  exposition, the authors have done a fine job of keeping explanations  clear and useful to even novice site managers.
