The fifth edition of Network Security. Applications and Standards offer a practical overview of network security applications and standards. Further, with a focus on applications that are commonly used on the Internet and in business networks.
Instructors and students benefit from an unrivaled support package that assures a successful teaching and learning experience.
What is the 5th Edition all about?
The fifth edition focuses on two primary topics:
What is Network Security?
Network Security: Applications and Standards take a practical approach to the subject of network security. It explores the key tools and technologies used by businesses and organizations. Further, to safeguard their networks and data from electronic threats.
The book covers the most widely used application layer security technologies. Including firewalls, intrusion detection systems, encryption protocols, and security applications such as antivirus and anti-spyware software.
It also provides a practical introduction to network security standards. Such as Open System Interconnection (OSI) model, 802.1X, IPsec, and Secure Sockets Layer (SSL). In addition to Extensible Authentication Protocol (EAP), Public Key Infrastructure (PKI), and others.
Who is the book for?
Network Security: Applications and Standards is a valuable resource for those who wish to learn more about network security concepts and applications. It is an ideal choice for a graduate-level course or seminar on network security applications or for self-study. The book would also be helpful for students preparing for certification exams in networking or computer security. It will appeal to network professionals who want to update their knowledge about network security applications.
What is Open System Interconnection (OSI)?
The Open System Interconnection (OSI) model is a seven-layer model to describe and define communication between two end systems. It is the basis for all networking standards, including the Internet Protocol (IP). This is a reference book for all network engineers who want a better understanding of how networks work.
What does network security entail?
Network security includes protecting your computer from unauthorized access by other people and preventing your computer from attacking or harming other computers on the network. It also includes protecting the data that is on your computer or transmitted over a network.
There are many ways to protect your computer and your data, ranging from physically securing the computer, to installing software that protects your computer’s operating system and the data stored on it. While most of these measures are to protect only against physical threats, some of them also provide protection against electronic threats, such as viruses and hackers.
What is Secure Sockets Layer (SSL)?
Secure Sockets Layer (SSL) is a protocol that provides encrypted communication between a web server and browser. It is used to protect data when it is transmitted. This protocol is the basis of most e-commerce transactions, such as online purchases or banking. SSL can also be used to securely transmit information between users and web servers, including passwords and other sensitive information.
This text provides a practical introduction to network security standards, including Open System Interconnection (OSI) model, 802.1X, IPsec, Secure Sockets Layer (SSL), Extensible Authentication Protocol (EAP), Public Key Infrastructure (PKI), and others. This book focuses on the practical application of these standards to create an effective network security solution for businesses and organizations of all sizes.
