Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Traditional intrusion detection and logfile analysis are no longer enough to protect today’s complex networks. In this practical guide, security researcher Michael Collins shows you several techniques and tools for collecting and analyzing network traffic datasets. You’ll understand how your network is used, and what actions are necessary to protect and improve it. Divided into three sections, this book examines the process of collecting and organizing data, various tools for analysis, and several different analytic scenarios and techniques. It’s ideal for network administrators and operational security analysts familiar with scripting. Explore network, host, and service sensors for capturing security data Store data traffic with relational databases, graph databases, Redis, and Hadoop Use SiLK, the R language, and other tools for analysis and visualization Detect unusual phenomena through Exploratory Data Analysis (EDA) Identify significant structures in networks with graph analysis Determine the traffic that’s crossing service ports in a network Examine traffic volume and behavior to spot DDoS and database raids Get a step-by-step process for network mapping and inventory

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book will take readers from the discovery of vulnerabilities and the creation of the corresponding exploits, through a complete security assessment, all the way through deploying patches against these vulnerabilities to protect their networks. This is unique in that it details both the management and technical skill and tools required to develop an effective vulnerability management system. Business case studies and real world vulnerabilities are used through the book. It starts by introducing the reader to the concepts of a vulnerability management system. Readers will be provided detailed timelines of exploit development, vendors’ time to patch, and corporate path installations. Next, the differences between security assessment s and penetration tests will be clearly explained along with best practices for conducting both. Next, several case studies from different industries will illustrate the effectiveness of varying vulnerability assessment methodologies. The next several chapters will define the steps of a vulnerability assessment including: defining objectives, identifying and classifying assets, defining rules of engagement, scanning hosts, and identifying operating systems and applications. The next several chapters provide detailed instructions and examples for differentiating vulnerabilities from configuration problems, validating vulnerabilities through penetration testing. The last section of the book provides best practices for vulnerability management and remediation. * Unique coverage detailing both the management and technical skill and tools required to develop an effective vulnerability management system * Vulnerability management is rated the #2 most pressing concern for security professionals in a poll conducted by Information Security Magazine * Covers in the detail the vulnerability management lifecycle from discovery through patch.

Book excerpt: Prepare yourself for any type of audit and minimise security findings DESCRIPTION This book is a guide for Network professionals to understand real-world information security scenarios. It offers a systematic approach to prepare for security assessments including process security audits, technical security audits and Penetration tests. This book aims at training pre-emptive security to network professionals in order to improve their understanding of security infrastructure and policies. Ê With our network being exposed to a whole plethora of security threats, all technical and non-technical people are expected to be aware of security processes. Every security assessment (technical/ non-technical) leads to new findings and the cycle continues after every audit. This book explains the auditorÕs process and expectations. KEY FEATURES It follows a lifecycle approach to information security by understanding: Why we need Information security How we can implementÊ How to operate securely and maintain a secure posture How to face audits WHAT WILL YOU LEARN This book is solely focused on aspects of Information security that Network professionals (Network engineer, manager and trainee) need to deal with, for different types of Audits. Information Security Basics, security concepts in detail, threat Securing the Network focuses on network security design aspects and how policies influence network design decisions. Secure Operations is all about incorporating security in Network operations. Managing Audits is the real test.
