Media Hacking Exposed Sixth Edition (McGraw Hill) Network Security Secrets And Solutions

The phrase “information security” has expanded significantly in scope over the last
decade. The term now extends beyond protecting the secrets of major corporations
and governments to include the average consumer. Our most sensitive information
is stored online in vast quantities. The temptations for those who have the tools to dip an
illicit, electronic spoon into the pool of confidential data are far too enticing to be ignored.
Furthermore, cybercriminals are not scared of the laws that are currently in place.
This volume of Hacking Exposed contains the newest lessons learned about the threat
landscape. Its goal is education: a paramount element in the continual fight against
cybercrime. This book aims to educate those with the technical expertise to defend our
nations, our educational institutions, our banks, our retailers, our utilities, our
infrastructures, and our families. In the last two years, the global cyberthreat has more
than doubled. Our security professionals need at least twice as much knowledge as the
criminals in order to tackle this danger.
Through education, we hope to expand the knowledge of current security professionals
and encourage and enable a new generation of IT security experts to stand up to the
daunting task of taking on an immeasurable army of skilled foes. As the cybercriminal
community grows, networks, and shares information about its hacks, exploits, and
electronic malfeasance, so must we share our knowledge of threats and vulnerabilities. If
we are to challenge an enemy who has infinite and instant access to the trade’s most
current tactics and schemes, we must equip ourselves and our allies with the same
knowledge.
In the past, the fear of a data breach would be something that people would only
experience by watching a movie. The image of a criminal in a dark room with a PC
breaking into “the mainframe” was once a romantic and far-off concept that was not
widely appreciated as a real threat. But the last couple of years have taught us, at the cost
of over hundreds of millions of private records being breached, that data breaches strike
with brutal efficiency at the most pedestrian of locations.
