The Practice of Network Security Monitoring (eBook, ePUB)

Understanding Incident Detection and Response

• Format: ePub

Produktbeschreibung

Network security is not simply about building impenetrable walls—determined attackers will eventually overcome traditional defenses. The most effective computer security strategies integrate network security monitoring (NSM): the collection and analysis of data to help you detect and respond to intrusions. In The Practice of Network Security Monitoring, Mandiant CSO Richard Bejtlich shows you how to use NSM to add a robust layer of protection around your networks—no prior experience required. To help you avoid costly and inflexible solutions, he teaches you how to deploy, build, and run an NSM operation using open source software and vendor-neutral tools. You'll learn how to: -Determine where to deploy NSM platforms, and size them for the monitored networks -Deploy stand-alone or distributed NSM installations -Use command line and graphical packet analysis tools, and NSM consoles -Interpret network evidence from server-side and client-side intrusions -Integrate threat intelligence into NSM software to identify sophisticated adversaries There's no foolproof way to keep attackers out of your network. But when they get in, you'll be prepared. The Practice of Network Security Monitoring will show you how to build a security net to detect, contain, and control them. Attacks are inevitable, but losing sensitive data shouldn't be.

Rezensionen

"A comprehensive guide. Certain to make the reader a better information security practitioner, and their network more secure."
Ben Rothke, Slashdot

"If you are in cyber security, this is a must read. The book is the best resource for tools I have seen anywhere."
Stephen Northcutt, SANS Institute

"A very well written technical book. I would recommend this for anyone getting into the field of incident response who doesn't have a great understanding of NSM."
Greg Hetrick, PaulDotCom

"Deploying NSM not only means you can quickly identify, contain, and remediate intrusions, it gives you insight into the network as a whole."
Michael W. Lucas, author of Absolute OpenBSD, 2nd Edition

"The Practice of Network Security Monitoring: the best surveillance book you'll read anytime soon."
Peter N. M. Hansteen, author of The Book of PF

"This gem from No Starch Press covers the life-cycle of Network Security Monitoring (NSM) in great detail and leans on Security Onion as its backbone. I recommend an immediate download of the latest version of Security Onion and a swift purchase of Richard s book."
Russ McRee, senior security analyst, Microsoft

"The principles Bejtlich outlines for running your security monitoring are the kind of best practice you should apply to any important server."
Mary Branscombe, ZDNet
