Produktbeschreibung

Network administrators who design, implement, and manage computer networks on a day-to-day basis must understand the threats that exist and how to mitigate them to protect a company's assets. With this book as their guide, readers will gain a strong understanding of the key elements involved in security: confidentiality, integrity, authentication, auditing, and recovery. They'll learn how to assess a company's risk by identifying assets, vulnerabilities, and threats, and then take the necessary steps to decrease the attack surface of servers on the network.
