Download or read book A Data Driven Computer Security Defense written by Roger Grimes and published by . This book was released on 2017-09-26 with total page 236 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Most companies are using inefficient computer security defenses which allow hackers to break in at will. It's so bad that most companies have to assume that it is already or can easily be breached. It doesn't have to be this way! A data-driven computer security defense will help any entity better focus on the right threats and defenses. It will create an environment which will help you recognize emerging threats sooner, communicate those threats faster, and defend far more efficiently. What is taught in this book...better aligning defenses to the very threats they are supposed to defend against, will seem commonsense after you read them, but for reasons explained in the book, aren't applied by most companies. The lessons learned come from a 30-year computer security veteran who consulted with hundreds of companies, large and small, who figured out what did and didn't work when defending against hackers and malware. Roger A. Grimes is the author of nine previous books and over 1000 national magazine articles on computer security. Reading A Data-Driven Computer Security Defense will change the way you look at and use computer security for now on.
Download or read book Applications of Data Mining in Computer Security written by Daniel Barbará and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 2012-12-06 with total page 266 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Data mining is becoming a pervasive technology in activities as diverse as using historical data to predict the success of a marketing campaign, looking for patterns in financial transactions to discover illegal activities or analyzing genome sequences. From this perspective, it was just a matter of time for the discipline to reach the important area of computer security. Applications Of Data Mining In Computer Security presents a collection of research efforts on the use of data mining in computer security. Applications Of Data Mining In Computer Security concentrates heavily on the use of data mining in the area of intrusion detection. The reason for this is twofold. First, the volume of data dealing with both network and host activity is so large that it makes it an ideal candidate for using data mining techniques. Second, intrusion detection is an extremely critical activity. This book also addresses the application of data mining to computer forensics. This is a crucial area that seeks to address the needs of law enforcement in analyzing the digital evidence.

Download or read book Computer Security and the Internet written by Paul C. van Oorschot and published by Springer Nature. This book was released on 2021-10-13 with total page 446 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book provides a concise yet comprehensive overview of computer and Internet security, suitable for a one-term introductory course for junior/senior undergrad or first-year graduate students. It is also suitable for self-study by anyone seeking a solid footing in security – including software developers and computing professionals, technical managers and government staff. An overriding focus is on brevity, without sacrificing breadth of core topics or technical detail within them. The aim is to enable a broad understanding in roughly 350 pages. Further prioritization is supported by designating as optional selected content within this. Fundamental academic concepts are reinforced by specifics and examples, and related to applied problems and real-world incidents. The first chapter provides a gentle overview and 20 design principles for security. The ten chapters that follow provide a framework for understanding computer and Internet security. They regularly refer back to the principles, with supporting examples. These principles are the conceptual counterparts of security-related error patterns that have been recurring in software and system designs for over 50 years. The book is “elementary” in that it assumes no background in security, but unlike “soft” high-level texts it does not avoid low-level details, instead it selectively dives into fine points for exemplary topics to concretely illustrate concepts and principles. The book is rigorous in the sense of being technically sound, but avoids both mathematical proofs and lengthy source-code examples that typically make books inaccessible to general audiences. Knowledge of elementary operating system and networking concepts is helpful, but review sections summarize the essential background. For graduate students, inline exercises and supplemental references provided in per-chapter endnotes provide a bridge to further topics and a springboard to the research literature; for those in industry and government, pointers are provided to helpful surveys and relevant standards, e.g., documents from the Internet Engineering Task Force (IETF), and the U.S. National Institute of Standards and Technology.

Download or read book Principles of Data Security written by Ernst L. Leiss and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 2012-12-06 with total page 236 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: With the greatly increased use of electronic media for processing and storing data, data security became an important practical issue. This is especially true for the extensively shared and distributed systems which are more and more being accepted in commercial operations. Essen tially, the problem is that of protecting data, including all the impli cations which this has to the end user as well as the systems or database designer. However, usually the term data security refers to protection by technical, i.e., computer science specific, means; if one wants to in clude issues such as physical security, how to select the group of people who should have authority to perform certain operations, etc., the term computer security is more appropriate. The object of this book is to provide technical solutions to (facets of) the problem of achieving data security. The reader who hopes to find clever recipes which allow circumventing protection mechanisms will, however, be sadly disappointed. In fact, we deliberately kept the presentation of the material at a fairly general level. While the short term benefit of such an approach may be somewhat smaller, we feel that without a thorough understanding of the fundamental issues and problems in data security there will never be secure systems. True, peo ple probably always considered certain security aspects when designing a system. However, an integrated approach is absolutely imperative.
