“Even the world’s largest and most sophisticated networks are vulnerable to attack – and so is yours. The scenarios described in IT Security: Risking the Corporation expose crucial flaws in operating systems, networks, servers, and software – as well as the vulnerability caused by poor training, corporate politics, and careless management. In the previous version of this book, originally published as Intranet Security: Stories from the Trenches, Linda McCarthy drew on her experience penetrating thousands of corporate networks to identify key security risks and practical solutions. This update is even more compelling and offers a clear plan for improving the security of your systems. You’ll find useful tools and preventive measures you can take right now. In addition, McCarthy’s security checklists and resource listings can help you tighten security throughout your entire IT infrastructure.
