Download or read book Mastering FreeBSD and OpenBSD Security written by Yanek Korff and published by "O'Reilly Media, Inc.". This book was released on 2005 with total page 468 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: FreeBSD and OpenBSD are increasingly gaining traction in educational institutions, non-profits, and corporations worldwide because they provide significant security advantages over Linux. Although a lot can be said for the robustness, clean organization, and stability of the BSD operating systems, security is one of the main reasons system administrators use these two platforms.There are plenty of books to help you get a FreeBSD or OpenBSD system off the ground, and all of them touch on security to some extent, usually dedicating a chapter to the subject. But, as security is commonly named as the key concern for today's system administrators, a single chapter on the subject can't provide the depth of information you need to keep your systems secure.FreeBSD and OpenBSD are rife with security "building blocks" that you can put to use, and Mastering FreeBSD and OpenBSD Security shows you how. Both operating systems have kernel options and filesystem features that go well beyond traditional Unix permissions and controls. This power and flexibility is valuable, but the colossal range of possibilities need to be tackled one step at a time. This book walks you through the installation of a hardened operating system, the installation and configuration of critical services, and ongoing maintenance of your FreeBSD and OpenBSD systems.Using an application-specific approach that builds on your existing knowledge, the book provides sound technical information on FreeBSD and Open-BSD security with plenty of real-world examples to help you configure and deploy a secure system. By imparting a solid technical foundation as well as practical know-how, it enables administrators to push their server's security to the next level. Even administrators in other environments--like Linux and Solaris--can find useful paradigms to emulate.Written by security professionals with two decades of operating system experience, Mastering FreeBSD and OpenBSD Security features broad and deep explanations of how how to secure your most critical systems. Where other books on BSD systems help you achieve functionality, this book will help you more thoroughly secure your deployments.

Download or read book SAP Security Configuration and Deployment written by Joey Hirao and published by Syngress. This book was released on 2008-11-18 with total page 392 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Throughout the world, high-profile large organizations (aerospace and defense, automotive, banking, chemicals, financial service providers, healthcare, high tech, insurance, oil and gas, pharmaceuticals, retail, telecommunications, and utilities) and governments are using SAP software to process their most mission-critical, highly sensitive data. With more than 100,000 installations, SAP is the world's largest enterprise software company and the world's third largest independent software supplier overall. Despite this widespread use, there have been very few books written on SAP implementation and security, despite a great deal of interest. (There are 220,000 members in an on-line SAP 'community' seeking information, ideas and tools on the IT Toolbox Website alone.) Managing SAP user authentication and authorizations is becoming more complex than ever, as there are more and more SAP products involved that have very different access issues. It's a complex area that requires focused expertise.This book is designed for these network and systems administrator who deal with the complexity of having to make judgmental decisions regarding enormously complicated and technical data in the SAP landscape, as well as pay attention to new compliance rules and security regulations.Most SAP users experience significant challenges when trying to manage and mitigate the risks in existing or new security solutions and usually end up facing repetitive, expensive re-work and perpetuated compliance challenges. This book is designed to help them properly and efficiently manage these challenges on an ongoing basis. It aims to remove the 'Black Box' mystique that surrounds SAP security. - The most comprehensive coverage of the essentials of SAP security currently available: risk and control management, identity and access management, data protection and privacy, corporate governance, legal and regulatory compliance - This book contains information about SAP security that is not available anywhere else to help the reader avoid the "gotchas" that may leave them vulnerable during times of upgrade or other system changes - Companion Web site provides custom SAP scripts, which readers can download to install, configure and troubleshoot SAP

Download or read book Nist Sp 800 128 Guide for Security focused Configuration Management of Informati written by National Institute of Standards and Technology and published by Createspace Independent Publishing Platform. This book was released on 2011-08-31 with total page 90 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: NIST SP 800-128 August 2011 An information system is typically in a constant state of change in response to new, enhanced, corrected, or updated hardware and software capabilities, patches for correcting software flaws and other errors to existing components, new security threats, changing business functions, etc. Implementing information system changes almost always results in some adjustment to the system configuration. To ensure that the required adjustments to the system configuration do not adversely affect the security of the information system or the organization from operation of the information system, a well-defined configuration management process that integrates information security is needed. Organizations apply configuration management (CM) for establishing baselines and for tracking, controlling, and managing many aspects of business development and operation (e.g., products, services, manufacturing, business processes, and information technology). Organizations with a robust and effective CM process need to consider information security implications with respect to the development and operation of information systems including hardware, software, applications, and documentation. Effective CM of information systems requires the integration of the management of secure configurations into the organizational CM process or processes. For this reason, this document assumes that information security is an integral part of an organization's overall CM process; however, the focus of this document is on implementation of the information system security aspects of CM, and as such the term security-focused configuration management (SecCM) is used to emphasize the concentration on information security. Though both IT business application functions and security-focused practices are expected to be integrated as a single process, SecCM in this context is defined as the management and control of configurations for information systems to enable security and facilitate the management of information security risk. Why buy a book you can download for free? First you gotta find it and make sure it's the latest version, not always easy. Then you gotta print it using a network printer you share with 100 other people - and its outta paper - and the toner is low (take out the toner cartridge, shake it, then put it back). If it's just 10 pages, no problem, but if it's a 250-page book, you will need to punch 3 holes in all those pages and put it in a 3-ring binder. Takes at least an hour. An engineer that's paid $75 an hour has to do this himself (who has assistant's anymore?). If you are paid more than $10 an hour and use an ink jet printer, buying this book will save you money.

Download or read book Improving Security Via Effective Central Configuration Management written by Jason Aguilar and published by . This book was released on 2022 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Configuration Management is the process of maintaining systems in a desired state. [1] Central Configuration Management is the process of maintaining that state from a centralized location in order to maintain consistent control over the configuration of systems and applications. The process of configuration management is essential to a functional business environment. By ensuring consistent configurations for all systems and applications it is easier and more efficient to add, remove, and maintain systems and applications on a network. Central configuration Management is also necessary to ensure all parts of any organization are using consistent configurations and not deterring from known good configurations which could create vulnerabilities. There are two significant benefits to central configuration management: Automation and Communication. Automation is the creation and application of technology to monitor and control the production and delivery of products and services. [2] It increases efficiency and reduces the time required to configure systems. Communication is achieved through central configuration management because it uses a methodology of shared knowledge. In a central configuration management system, all parties in an organization share information and toolsets which allows for better transition of information. These concepts are vital for an organization to maintain, improve, and advance in the world of Information Technology. This project is designed to use the principles of configuration management to improve security and reliability of service for Company X. The goal is to create a working prototype of a central configuration management tool which could later be implemented on a production level to address the improvements requested by Company X. This project will identify which tool to implement by conducting research into commonly used tools and companies that provide them. Research will be conducted on daily operations for Company X to identify specific requirements for the project. A sandbox testing environment will be created to develop and test the chosen tool. Results of testing will be documented and provided to Company X for consideration of implementation. The project will conclude with a complete synopsis of recommendations for future advancements and a detailed implementation plan for production.
