Read online book Information Security Science : Measuring the Vulnerability to Data Compromises DJV, EPUB, PDF
9780128096468 English 0128096462 Information Security Science provides the background and techniques needed to estimate the risk associated with the wide spectrum of information security threats. The book explains the key scientific principles, develops the essential analytic methods, identifies unique and meaningful IT metrics, and provides solutions to real/world security scenarios using the learned principles, methods, and metrics. Information Security Science enables scientists and engineers with no background in security to appreciate the role of science in information security risk. It facilitates an understanding of the fundamentals of information security risk assessments for security professionals, elaborate on the connections between physical science, physical security, and information security risk, and provides the security professional with the analytic machinery required to estimate the vulnerability to information security threats. Helps develops the required analytic and scientific thinking necessary to estimate the vulnerability of information loss across a spectrum of attack vectors. Unique treatment on the nexus between physical and information security across multiple dimensions, including the vulnerability of IT device emanations, visible information, audible information and the physical security of information assets. Identifies metrics that derive from IT vulnerabilities formulated so they point to the fundamental drivers of IT risk, such as security governance and user behavior. Numerous examples of threat incidents in real world scenarios, as well as risk assessment methods applied to diverse settings. Learning aids such as chapter introductions and end of chapter problems and summaries., Information Security Science provides the scientific background and analytic techniques to understand and measure the risk associated with information security threats. This is not a traditional IT security book since it includes methods of information compromise that are not typically addressed in textbooks or journals. In particular, it explores the physical nature of information security risk, and in so doing exposes subtle yet revealing connections between information security, physical security, information technology and information theory. This book is also a practical risk management guide as it explains the fundamental scientific principles that are directly relevant to information security, specifies a structured methodology to evaluate a host of threats and attack vectors, identifies unique metrics that point to root causes of technology risk, and enables estimates of the effectiveness of risk mitigation. Information Security Science is the definitive reference for scientists and engineers with no background in security as well as for security analysts and practitioners who lack scientific training. Importantly, it provides security professionals with the tools to prioritize information security controls and thereby develop cost-effective risk management strategies. Specifies the analytic and scientific methods necessary to estimate the vulnerability to information loss for a spectrum of threats and attack vectors. Represents a unique treatment of the nexus between physical and information security that includes risk analyses of IT device emanations, visible information, audible information, physical information assets, and virtualized IT environments. Identifies metrics that point to the root cause of information technology risk and thereby assist security professionals in developing bona fide risk management strategies. Analyzes numerous threat scenarios and specifies countermeasures based on derived quantitative metrics. Provides chapter introductions and end-of-chapter summaries to enhance the reader's experience as well as facilitate an appreciation for key concepts., Information Security Science: Measuring the Vulnerability to Data Compromises provides the scientific background and analytic techniques to understand and measure the risk associated with information security threats.
