NEW! Offer more context: Increased Business Focus. This edition includes more of a focus on the business applications of the concepts. Emphasis has been placed on securing corporate information systems, rather than just hosts in general. The concepts, principles, and terminology have remained the same, but the implications of each topic are more focused on the business environment.
NEW! Encourage application: Hands-On Projects. Each chapter now contains new hands-on projects that use contemporary software. Each project relates directly to the chapter material. Students take a screenshot to show they have completed the project.
NEW! Show how it all connects: Comprehensive Framework. Serving as a roadmap for students, this text’s comprehensive security framework ties all of the chapters together. This framework works to help increase retention of the material by illustrating how topic areas relate to each other.
NEW! Provide new coverage of material: Expanded Content. Material from prior chapters has been reorganized and expanded to create new chapters covering Secure Networks (Chapter 4) and Data Protection (Chapter 9). Reviewers wanted more coverage of networking and wireless security concepts, as well as more discussion of data security. These chapters contain substantial amounts of new material in each of these areas.
NEW! See the concepts in action: Case Studies and Focus Articles. Each chapter includes 2—4 new applied case studies or focus articles. Ranging in topics, these cases/articles cover:
- High-profile security incidents
- Technical security topics
- Profiles of industry professionals
- Security certifications
- New types of attacks
- Articles by industry leaders
