According to law enforcement figures, America corporations lose billions of dollars a year due to
IT security breaches. Auditing and Security:
AS/400, NT, Unix, Networks, and Disaster
Recovery Plans provides the tools that an
auditor needs to ensure that a company's
platforms and networks are adequately
protected.
Auditing information systems for security
requires knowledge across a wide range of
disciplines beyond computer science, including
management science, information security,
accounting, finance, business, and human
resources. This book supplies the vital
information across these divergent fields that
auditors, IT managers, controllers, and CIOs
need to measure the security of their systems.
This comprehensive volume covers the full range
of issues relating to security audits-hardware,
operating systems, network connections, the
cooperation of logical and physical security
measures, and disaster recovery planning.
The author begins with an overview of the structure of information systems and their security requirements and then shows you how physical and logical security systems work together to create a safe corporate information structure. Comprehensive treatment of the different structures and security needs of AS/400, Microsoft NT, and Unix allows you to understand security requirements regardless of which computer architecture a company runs. Auditing and Security also uses helpful checklists and diagrams and a practical, rather than theoretical, method for understanding hardware, operating systems, and the networks that enable the interconnection of platforms and applications. Another important topic this volume covers is disaster recovery planning to help you insure that IT systems and the information they safeguard are recoverable in the event of a major disruption in service or intentional destruction of data.
This up-to-date resource provides all the tools you need to perform practical security audits on the entire spectrum of a company's various IT platforms-from the mainframe to the individual PC-as well as the networks that connect them to each other and to the global marketplace. Auditing and Security: AS/400, NT, Unix, Networks, and Disaster Recovery Plans is the first book on IT security written specifically for the auditor, detailing what controls are necessary to ensure a secure system regardless of the specific hardware, software, or architecture a company runs.
