Guide to Computer Network Security

Autor Joseph Migga Kizza
en Limba Engleză Paperback – 21 oct 2010

Metodologia abordată în Guide to Computer Network Security pune accent pe arhitectura sistemelor reziliente și pe integrarea securității în întregul ecosistem digital, de la design patterns la securitatea virtualizată. Observăm o tranziție clară de la securitatea tradițională a rețelelor spre modele de calcul agile, impulsionate de inteligența artificială și de noile platforme virtuale. Subliniem faptul că această ediție a șasea, publicată în 2024, nu se limitează la aspectele teoretice, ci propune o structură riguros aplicativă prin exerciții de dificultate variată și proiecte practice care încheie fiecare capitol, facilitând testarea algoritmilor și protocoalelelor de apărare. Complementar lui Security in Computing de Charles Pfleeger, care se concentrează pe politici de securitate și protecție modulară, volumul lui Kizza extinde analiza către zonele emergente ale metaversului și tehnologiei blockchain. Dacă Pfleeger oferă bazele politicilor, Kizza aduce în discuție implementările tehnice în ecosisteme inteligente și rețele sociale, oferind o perspectivă tehnică actualizată asupra dependenței umane de infrastructura digitală. Poziționăm această lucrare în contextul operei autorului ca pe un pilon tehnic ce completează Ethical and Secure Computing. Dacă în lucrările anterioare Joseph Migga Kizza punea accent pe cadrul etic și social, în această ediție remarcăm o integrare a acestor provocări direct în arhitectura sistemelor de securitate. Cuprinsul reflectă o progresie logică: de la fundamentele rețelelor și analiza vulnerabilităților, la soluții specifice precum criptografia, firewall-urile, sistemele de detecție a intruziunilor și criminalistica informatică (digital forensics). Partea finală explorează impactul platformelor virtuale asupra securității viitoare, oferind cititorului un instrument de referință complet pentru mediile industriale intensive în date.

De ce să citești această carte

Recomandăm acest volum profesioniștilor și studenților care caută un echilibru între rigoarea teoretică și aplicațiile practice. Cititorul câștigă o viziune actualizată asupra riscurilor cibernetice din 2024, învățând să gestioneze securitatea în medii complexe, de la dispozitive mobile la infrastructuri cloud și blockchain. Proiectele practice incluse permit aplicarea imediată a conceptelor de apărare și răspuns la incidente, oferind un avantaj competitiv în peisajul tehnologic actual.


Despre autor

Joseph Migga Kizza este profesor de informatică și fost șef al Departamentului de Știința Calculatoarelor și Inginerie la Universitatea din Tennessee, Chattanooga. Cu o carieră dedicată securității rețelelor și eticii în era informației, a condus centrul UTC InfoSec, fiind o voce autorizată în dezbaterile internaționale despre securitatea spațiului cibernetic. Autor al mai multor manuale de succes publicate la Springer, Kizza a fost distins cu premiul internațional IIS pentru cercetare exemplară în inginerie și calcul. Expertiza sa se reflectă în capacitatea de a sintetiza teme complexe precum arhitectura computerelor și securitatea sistemelor de senzori într-un format accesibil și riguros.


Descriere scurtă

If we are to believe in Moore’s law, then every passing day brings new and advanced changes to the technology arena. We are as amazed by miniaturization of computing devices as we are amused by their speed of computation. Everything seems to be in ? ux and moving fast. We are also fast moving towards ubiquitous computing. To achieve this kind of computing landscape, new ease and seamless computing user interfaces have to be developed. Believe me, if you mature and have ever program any digital device, you are, like me, looking forward to this brave new computing landscape with anticipation. However, if history is any guide to use, we in information security, and indeed every computing device user young and old, must brace themselves for a future full of problems. As we enter into this world of fast, small and concealable ubiquitous computing devices, we are entering fertile territory for dubious, mischievous, and malicious people. We need to be on guard because, as expected, help will be slow coming because ? rst, well trained and experienced personnel will still be dif? cult to get and those that will be found will likely be very expensive as the case is today.

Recenzii

From the reviews:
"This book focuses on educating readers on the security problems that are likely to be encountered. … Overall, this is a well-written text that will provide readers with a solid foundation in information security. … it would also be appropriate as an introductory text for practitioners entering the field and for providing background and business context of security-related business issues for nontechnical managers." (W. T. Neumann, ACM Computing Reviews, May, 2009)
“This excellent book by Joseph Migga Kizza is very welcome. The author steers … to give a thorough, complete and very readable guide to the subject. … the book is well structured and presented – offering the basis of a strong balanced course. … stands by itself as a valuable guide. … Who is it for? A very good core text for an undergraduate course in network security, and valuable for any IT professional needing to refresh his or her understanding in this area … .” (Times Higher Education, Issue viii, December, 2009)

Textul de pe ultima copertă

Contemporary societies have increasing dependence on computers and computer networks, and the increasing popularity of mobile computing, have given rise to numerous computer security problems. Yet despite a high proliferation of expert remedies, a viable and comprehensive solution to these security issues remains elusive, and society continues to suffer at the hands of cyber criminals, vandals and hackers.
This authoritative Guide to Computer Network Security explores computer network infrastructures and protocol design security flaws, and discusses current security solutions and best practices in both fixed and mobile computer networks. The book broadly surveys thought-provoking security issues, discussing and raising questions about the impact of new technologies and protocols (with particular emphasis on the rapid growth and skyrocketing interests and use in mobile technologies). It further explores the security threats and vulnerabilities in the current network infrastructure and protocols, and outlines current security efforts. The text assumes a modest familiarity with basic computer programming and networking.
Features:
• Covers the very core of network security, and includes chapters about the very latest in ‘handling disasters’ and ‘security in mobile network systems’
• Presents an in-depth discussion of standardization, again informing the reader on current trends on the topic
• Raises awareness of the security problems in cyberspace, and more particularly, computer network security
• Discusses computer network infrastructure and protocol design flaws and vulnerabilities
• Explores the role of legislation and law enforcement in maintaining computer and computer network security
• Proposes efficient and widely acceptable solutions and best practices to security problems, and encourages readers to investigate other possiblesolutions
• Alerts the reader to the daunting security problems in increasingly popular mobile network systems
• Includes two types of end-of-chapter exercises: quickly workable questions, as well as more thought-provoking advanced exercises
• Devotes one complete chapter to lab exercises: weekly, semester assignments and hard open-research projects
• Endeavours to use open source software tools throughout
• Provides support materials for lecturers and students such as PowerPoint slides, syllabus suggestions, solutions, instructor manual and student laboratory materials
This text/reference is an invaluable instructional and research tool for undergraduates in computer and information security. It is also a rich resource for practitioners, and professionals looking to gain an understanding of computer network infrastructure and information network security.
Dr Joseph Migga Kizza has also written Computer Network Security and Ethical and Social Issues in the Information Age.
