Network Security Assessment, 2nd Edition

The beginning of the text on the back cover of this book says, "How secure is your network? The best way to find out is to attack it." How many people test how secure their home or car is by trying to break into them? Would you try to break into your aunt's place to test her security and when (hopefully) caught, say you were just trying to make sure she was safe? Ok, it doesn't seem to make sense when considered at that level, but in terms of the security of your network environment, people pay good money to companies so they'll take their best shot at breaking in.

In that sense, it seems Chris McNab might be shooting himself in the foot by publishing this book. After all, he is the technical director for a London-based company that actually performs "penetration testing" for clients to ferret out any security vulnerabilities. Then again, since I have this book in my hands and live in the American northwest, I guess he won't be losing business he would never have gotten in the first place. Full Story |
