Synopsis:

Security is the hottest topic in IT, as well as everywhere else. The past four significant Internet worm attacks alone have cost companies more than $10 billion in repairs and lost productivity. And as hackers continue to discover new ways to exploit vulnerable networks, the need for up-to-date security information grows. This new edition of the highly acclaimed and best-selling "Mastering Network Security" provides a systematic and practical approach to assessing threats to the network and implementing workable and effective security measures to avert them. The coverage ranges from physical network security to data theft and viruses.
