Surviving Security: How to Integrate People, Process, and Technology, Second Edition fills this void by explaining security through a holistic approach that considers both the overall security infrastructure and the roles of each individual component. This book provides a blueprint for creating and executing sound security policy. The author examines the costs and complications involved, covering security measures such as encryption, authentication, firewalls, intrusion detection, remote access, host security, server security, and more. After reading this book, you will know how to make educated security decisions that provide airtight, reliable solutions.

Surviving Security is a crash course in all of the things that we should be doing in cyberspace that don't come naturally to most of us. It is a soup-to-nuts portrayal of how to do security right, from an experienced practitioner of digital security in real-world environmentsPerhaps the best thing about this book, though, is that it's up-to-date. Mandy hasn't written just another cookbook recitation of the three R's of security, she has built a comprehensive structure on sound principles and extended it with her intimate knowledge of exciting new technology I see few other titles on the shelves that can match this volume of experience and expertise in such a concise, lucidly written, and easy to read package.
