STM publisher Elsevier has announced the publication of Advanced Persistent Security: A Cyberwarfare Approach to Implementing Adaptive Enterprise Protection, Detection, and Reaction Strategies by Ira Winkler and Araceli Treu Gomes. The book covers secure network design and implementation, including authentication, authorization, data and access integrity, network monitoring, and risk assessment. Using recent high-profile cases such as Target, Sony and Home Depot, it explores information security risks, identifies the common threats organizations face, and presents tactics on how to prioritize the right countermeasures. Elsevier also announced the publication of two additional information security books.
Advanced Persistent Security discusses concepts such as malignant versus malicious threats, adversary mentality, motivation, the economics of cybercrime, the criminal infrastructure, dark webs, and the criminals organizations currently face. With practical and cost-effective recommendations for proactive and reactive protective measures, the book is projected as an invaluable resource for security and network professionals tasked with designing and implementing information security programs.
The three new information security titles are: Advanced Persistent Security: A Cyberwarfare Approach to Implementing Adaptive Enterprise Protection, Detection, and Reaction Strategies by Ira Winkler and Araceli Treu Gomes; Securing the Internet of Things by Shancang Li and Li Da Xu; and Federal Cloud Computing: The Definitive Guide for Cloud Service Providers, Second Edition by Matthew Metheny.
In order to meet content needs in information security, Elsevier uses proprietary tools to identify the gaps in coverage of the topics. Editorial teams strategically fill those gaps with content written by key influencers in the field, giving students, faculty and researchers the content they need to answer challenging questions and improve outcomes. These new books, which will educate the next generation of information security professionals, and provide critical foundational content for information professionals, are key examples of how Elsevier is enabling science to drive innovation.
