Security in Distributed Computing: Did You Lock the Door?by Glen Bruce
Synopses & ReviewsPublisher Comments:18290-7 Practical techniques for securing distributed computing systems. Computing security is, at its core, more than a technical issue: It's a fundamental business challenge. Managers have plenty of security alternatives, but little real guidance on making intelligent decisions about them. And today's distributed, multivendor, Internet-connected environments encompass more insecure systems and networks than ever before. Security in Distributed Computing offers the manager of distributed systems a thorough, common-sense framework for cost-effective computer security. Learn how to:
This book reviews critical risk areas in distributed systems, including networks, operating systems, applications, middleware, and the Internet. It considers the unique challenges of security in UNIX and Windows NT environments. And it presents detailed information about technologies that can help you respond, including:
Security in Distributed Computing also presents valuable, in-depth recommendations of how to design and implement a security strategy. The more your organization comes to rely on distributed systems, the more important security will become. When you need to make important business decisions about security, you'll appreciate the practical advice and insight this book delivers. Book News Annotation:Cost-effective computer security is the focus of chapters on secure
distributed systems architectures and methodologies, open-systems-
based distributed transaction processing systems, human and
organizational factors, critical risk areas (networks, operating
systems, applications, middleware, and the Internet), the unique
security challenges in UNIX and Windows NT environments, and
information about helpful technologies such as cryptography, the
Kerberos authentication model, and DCE security.
