Stallings draws on the immense work that has been collected in multiple key security documents, making this knowledge far more accessible than it has ever been before. \u003cb\u003eEffective Cybersecurity \u003c\/b\u003eis organized to align with the comprehensive Information Security Forum document The Standard of Good Practice for Information Security, but deepens, extends, and complements ISF's work with extensive insights from the ISO 27002 Code of Practice for Information Security Controls, the NIST Framework for Improving Critical Infrastructure Cybersecurity, COBIT 5 for Information Security, and a wide spectrum of standards and guidelines documents from ISO, ITU-T, NIST, Internet RFCs, other official sources, and the professional, academic, and industry literature.  In a single expert source, current and aspiring cybersecurity practitioners will find comprehensive and usable practices for successfully implementing cybersecurity within any organization. Stallings covers:  \u003cul\u003e \u003cli\u003e Security Planning: Developing approaches for managing and controlling the cybersecurity function; defining the requirements specific to a given IT environment; and developing policies and procedures for managing the security function \u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003e Security Management: Implementing the controls to satisfy the defined security requirements \u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003e Security Evaluation: Assuring that the security management function enables business continuity; monitoring, assessing, and improving the suite of cybersecurity controls. \u003c\/li\u003e \u003c\/ul\u003e Beyond requiring a basic understanding of cryptographic terminology and applications, this book is self-contained: all technology areas are explained without requiring other reference material. Each chapter contains a clear technical overview, as well as a detailed discussion of action items and appropriate policies. Stallings, author of 13 TAA Computer Science Textbooks of the Year, offers many pedagogical features designed to help readers master the material. These include: clear learning objectives, keyword lists, and glossaries to QR codes linking to relevant standards documents and web resources.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAbout the Author\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eDr. William Stallings\u003c\/b\u003e has made a unique contribution to understanding the broad sweep of technical developments in computer security, computer networking, and computer architecture. He has authored 18 textbooks, and, counting revised editions, a total of 70 books on various aspects of these subjects. His writings have appeared in numerous ACM and IEEE publications, including the \u003ci\u003eProceedings of the IEEE\u003c\/i\u003e and \u003ci\u003eACM Computing Reviews\u003c\/i\u003e. He is a 13-time recipient of the award for the best computer science textbook of the year from the Text and Academic Authors Association. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eIn more than 30 years in the field, he has been a technical contributor, technical manager, and an executive with several high-technology firms. He has designed and implemented both TCP\/IP-based and OSI-based protocol suites on a variety of computers and operating systems, ranging from microcomputers to mainframes. Currently, he is an independent consultant whose clients have included computer and networking manufacturers and customers, software development firms, and leading-edge government research institutions. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eHe created and maintains the Computer Science Student Resource Site at ComputerScienceStudent.com\/. This site provides documents and links on a variety of subjects of general interest to computer science students (and professionals). He is a member of the editorial board of \u003ci\u003eCryptologia\u003c\/i\u003e, a scholarly journal devoted to all aspects of cryptology. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eDr. Stallings holds a Ph.D. from M.I.T. in Computer Science and a B.S. from Notre Dame in Electrical Engineering. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e","brand":"Addison-Wesley Professional","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":52160191791378,"sku":"9780134772806","price":55.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0831\/4771\/8930\/files\/img_e0c86d01-f35f-465e-94bf-8a9a8de45f1c.jpg?v=1775040089","url":"https:\/\/surprise-castle.myshopify.com\/products\/effective-cybersecurity-a-guide-to-using-best-practices-and-standards-9780134772806","provider":"Surprise Castle","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
