As the Internet and other information infrastructures have become larger, more
complex, and more interdependent, unauthorized intrusions into computer systems
and networks have become more frequent and more severe. It is increasingly critical
that an organization secure the systems it connects to public networks. The CERT
Coordination Center ®, the first computer security response group, was established
to help systems administrators meet these challenges by publishing advisories
and developing key security practices, implementations, and tech tips on a timely
basis. The CERT ® Guide to System and Network Security makes these
practices and implementations available for the first time in book form.
With a practical, stepwise approach, the book shows administrators how to protect
systems and networks against malicious and inadvertent compromise. If you are
installing, configuring, operating, or maintaining systems or networks--or managing
any of those functions--you will find here easy-to-implement guidance to protect
your information infrastructure. The practices are platform- and operating-system
independent; however, several procedural and tool-based implementations are
provided to illustrate the technology-specific guidance that is freely available
from the CERT Web site.
The book is divided into two main parts, the first dealing with hardening and
securing your system--preventing problems in the first place. The second part
covers intrusion detection and response, recognizing that even the most secure
networks and systems cannot protect against every conceivable threat. The practices
selected for the book are based on CERT's extensive data on security breaches
and vulnerabilities, providing an authoritative view of the most common problems
system and network administrators confront.
See how to:
Secure general-purpose network servers and user workstations
Configure public Web servers to operate securely including the use of authentication
and encryption technologies
Configure, test, and deploy firewall systems
Detect, respond to, and recover from intrusions
Implement selected practices on systems running a Solaris 2.x operating system
Identify practice-related topics to address in your security policies
By implementing the security practices described in this book, you will
be incorporating protection mechanisms for up to 80 percent of the security
incidents reported to CERT.
