Features: With the gradual deepening of network applications and the widespread development of e-commerce, information security has become a top priority in the IT field. The demand for professional information security personnel has been increasing, and the requirements are becoming higher and higher. Information security itself, as a systematic project, involves numerous related disciplines, and the development of related knowledge is ever-evolving. For this reason, the International Information Systems Security Certification Consortium (ISC)2 organized world-renowned information security experts to develop the Common Body of Knowledge (CBK) for Information Security, summarizing the 10 most critical knowledge areas required for information security professionals. It is currently the most comprehensive and systematic industry standard system in the field of information security. This book is based on this Common Body of Knowledge and covers essential areas for information security professionals, such as security management, access control, network security, cryptography, security architecture and models, system development, disaster recovery, physical security, and legal and ethical issues. The book is concise in its narration and well-structured. It is accompanied by numerous exercises and their answers, making it suitable for classroom teaching and self-study. The accompanying CD-ROM contains randomly generated practice questions, allowing readers to test themselves using the book's CD-ROM. If you are preparing to take the CISSP certification, this book can provide you with a framework to help you become a CISSP. If you are an IT manager struggling with increasingly severe security issues, this book can provide you with basic concepts and principles to help you implement effective security controls. If you are already a CISSP or a security professional, this book will help you achieve success in the field of security. In addition to describing various issues in the security field, the book also includes numerous exercises, and the answers are provided in the accompanying CD-ROM, making it suitable for readers preparing for the CISSP certification exam to self-assess and practice.
