Secure Computing Systems provides a clear, structured introduction to modern system security for postgraduate students, computing students, early-career security professionals, and practitioners who want a stronger foundation in secure development, assessment, defence, incident response, and digital forensics.
Security is not something that can be added at the end of a project. It has to be considered across the whole lifecycle: from requirements and design, through coding and assessment, into live operation, incident handling, and evidence-based improvement. This book treats secure computing as a connected discipline, rather than a collection of isolated tools, techniques, or checklists.
Written in an accessible textbook style, the book explains the principles and practical reasoning behind secure systems without assuming prior specialist security experience. It is aimed at readers who already have a general computing background and want to understand how secure systems are designed, built, assessed, defended, and investigated.
Across seventeen chapters, the book covers:
- secure computing as a lifecycle
- security by design and threat modelling
- secure coding failure modes
- language, dependency, and review risk
- law, ethics, and rules of engagement
- reconnaissance, scanning, and vulnerability assessment
- web, API, identity, and business-logic failures
- configuration exploitation and privilege escalation
- network threats and network defence
- cloud security architecture
- detection engineering and security operations
- malware vectors, prevention, and analysis workflows
- incident response and incident coordination
- digital forensics and DFIR
The emphasis throughout is on responsible, evidence-based security practice. The book does not provide step-by-step exploitation recipes. Instead, it explains vulnerability mechanisms, control choices, trade-offs, limitations, and the professional responsibilities that sit around security work.
Each chapter includes learning outcomes, conceptual explanations, technical workflows, worked examples, summaries, and review questions. Case studies and current practice sections connect the material to real security practice, while references to recognised frameworks and communities such as NIST, OWASP, MITRE, CISA, NCSC, and SANS help readers place the material in a wider professional context.
Secure Computing Systems is suitable for taught modules in cyber security, secure software engineering, computer science, and digital forensics. It is also useful as a practical reference for developers, system administrators, security analysts, and technical managers who need to understand how security decisions fit together across the full system lifecycle.

Information regarding the right of withdrawal
Statutory right to withdraw
You have the right to withdraw from this contract within 14 days without giving any reason.
The withdrawal period will expire after 14 days from the day on which you acquire, or a third party other than the carrier and indicated by you acquires, physical possession of the last good or the last lot or piece.
To exercise the right of withdrawal, electronically fill in and submit a clear statement on our website, under "My Purchases" in "My Account". We will communicate to you an acknowledgement of receipt of such a withdrawal on a durable medium (e.g. by e-mail) without delay.
To meet the withdrawal deadline, it is sufficient for you to send your communication concerning your exercise of the right of withdrawal before the withdrawal period has expired.
Effects of withdrawal
If you withdraw from this contract, we will reimburse to you all payments received from you, including the costs of delivery (except for the supplementary costs arising if you chose a type of delivery other than the least expensive type of standard delivery offered by us).
We may make a deduction from the reimbursement for loss in value of any goods supplied, if the loss is the result of unnecessary handling by you.
We will make the reimbursement without undue delay, and not later than 14 days after the day on which we are informed about your decision to withdraw from this contract.
We will make the reimbursement using the same means of payment as you used for the initial transaction, unless you have expressly agreed otherwise; in any event, you will not incur any fees as a result of such reimbursement.
We may withhold reimbursement until we have received the goods back, or you have supplied evidence of having sent back the goods, whichever is the earliest.
You shall send back the goods or hand them over to California Books, Fort Wayne, Indiana, U.S.A., without undue delay and in any event not later than 14 days from the day on which you communicate your withdrawal from this contract to us. The deadline is met if you send back the goods before the period of 14 days has expired. You will have to bear the direct cost of returning the goods. You are only liable for any diminished value of the goods resulting from the handling other than what is necessary to establish the nature, characteristics and functioning of the goods.
Exceptions to the right of withdrawal
The right of withdrawal does not apply to:
- The delivery of newspapers, journals or magazines with the exception of subscription contracts; and
- The supply of digital content which is not supplied on a tangible medium (e.g. on a CD or DVD) if you accepted when you placed your order that we could start to deliver it, and that you could not withdraw once delivery had started.
