Review:
Data security texts and talks often promote numerous concepts that should be added to, or included in, security policies. There are numerous presentations in even general computer conferences on designing such policy documents. Few policies, however, actually get written. Those that do are often full of holes and gaps. Writing a security policy is an enormous undertaking, and most companies will not allow for the resources necessary to do it well. This uniquely valuable tool can save a great deal of time in the process. It is a set of over 600 sample paragraphs for a policy document, provided in both hard copy and soft copy, for ease of use. The book starts with an overview of what policies are, as distinct from guidelines, standard... Rest of this review on the detail page

Review:
It takes quite a while to figure out what Pipkin is trying to do in this book. Ultimately, there is coverage of some of the important basic concepts involved in information security. However, the text as a whole is both confused and confusing. The prologue tells us that business is changing and chaotic, and that information is of prime importance. The introduction takes a quick run through a few of the basic security concepts, with an emphasis on business continuity planning. Phase one of the book is entitled "Inspection," but the prologue lists some items of concern in risk analysis. Chapter one, called "Resource Inventory," is concerned with data classification. It touches on, but does not really discuss, the orthogonal nature of ... Rest of this review on the detail page

Review:
The heart of this somewhat dry book is a step-by-step guide to implementing a secure Unix network. The book defines each security issue and follows with instructions on what parameters to set, what programs to run, and which files to check. This is useful but doesn't convey much high-level knowledge in the process. You could set up a whole system according to these directions and still not really understand why or how it all works. Whether you will benefit from this cookbook approach depends on your desire to explore every last corner of Unix. After covering system configuration, the book goes on to discuss several noncommercial and commercial security programs that help you analyze your network for weaknesses. Appendices introduce related ... Rest of this review on the detail page
