Similar to unraveling a math word problem, Security Intelligence: A Practitioner's Guide to Solving Enterprise Security Challenges guides you through a deciphering process that translates each security goal into a set of security variables, substitutes each variable with a specific security technology domain, formulates the equation that is the deployment strategy, then verifies the solution against the original problem by analyzing security incidents and mining hidden breaches, ultimately refines the security formula iteratively in a perpetual cycle. You will learn about:
- Secure proxies - the necessary extension of the endpoints
- Application identification and control - visualize the threats
- Malnets - where is the source of infection and who are the pathogens
- Identify the security breach - who was the victim and what was the lure
- Security in Mobile computing - SNAFU
With this book, you will be able to:
- Identify the relevant solutions to secure the infrastructure
- Construct policies that provide flexibility to the users so to ensure productivity
- Deploy effective defenses against the ever evolving web threats
- Implement solutions that are compliant to relevant rules and regulations
- Offer insight to developers who are building new security solutions and products
Identify, deploy, and secure your enterprise
Security Intelligence, A Practitioner's Guide to Solving Enterprise Security Challenges is a handbook for security in modern times, against modern adversaries. As leaders in the design and creation of security products that are deployed globally across a range of industries and market sectors, authors Qing Li and Gregory Clark deliver unparalleled insight into the development of comprehensive and focused enterprise security solutions. They walk you through the process of translating your security goals into specific security technology domains, formulating the best deployment strategies, and verifying the solution by analyzing security incidents and divulging hidden breaches.
This guide provides detailed coverage of key enterprise security topics while demystifying technologies such as Next Generation Firewall. Through an in-depth look at proxy design and its policy enforcement engine, malware, malnets, and application proxies, you'll easily discover the foundation needed for a careful analysis while gaining deeper comprehension of security policies for application-specific proxies, application classification and control, security data analysis, and mobile security. You will learn the most effective solutions, technologies, and methodologies that can be implemented to monitor for, guard against, and mitigate security threats.
Security Intelligence makes enterprise security concepts, solutions, and practices accessible to all security engineers, developers, and corporate IT staff and shows you how to:
- Identify relevant solutions to secure critical infrastructure
- Construct policies that provide flexibility to the users and ensure productivity
- Deploy effective defenses against rapidly-evolving web threats
- Implement solutions that comply with relevant rules and regulations
- Build new security solutions, policies, and products within the enterprise context
