    About this ebook

    Most Systems Administrators are not security specialists. Keeping the network secure is one of many responsibilities, and it is usually not a priority until disaster strikes. How to Cheat at Securing Your Network is the perfect book for this audience. The book takes the huge amount of information available on network security and distils it into concise recommendations and instructions, using real world, step-by-step instruction.

Solutions are provided for each type of threat, with emphasis on intrusion detection, prevention, and disaster recovery.

    * A concise information source - perfect for busy System Administrators with little spare time
    * Details what to do when disaster strikes your network
