Features: The Hardening series is a newly launched information security book series by McGraw-Hill Company in the USA, partnering with the renowned "Exploit Database" series to deliver a feast for the information security community. This book is part of the Hardening series, written by a team of famous experts in the field of information security. Through a four-stage systematic hardening teaching method, it provides detailed introductions to the security protection of network systems from both technical and strategic perspectives, and delves into the details that system administrators often overlook or make mistakes, aiming to help readers build secure information fortresses for their network systems. The book is divided into 4 parts and 22 chapters. Part 1 outlines 7 key steps to reduce system threats, which are essential measures for systems to block intrusions; Part 2 is the core of the book, systematically explaining specific methods and measures for hardening network systems from top to bottom. It covers how to enhance network security using methods such as deep defense, identity management systems, encryption, intrusion detection and response, and provides detailed descriptions of how to harden cross-platform authentication, web services, mobile environments, data transmission, remote clients, wireless networks, and hybrid Unix systems—current issues of great concern. Part 3 warns that there is no one-time fix and that systems must be continuously monitored and evaluated, with management methods and patches updated promptly. Part 4 outlines detailed strategies for how security plans can gain budget support, management approval, and employee collaboration, a rare feature in similar books. The book covers all mainstream platforms and applications, making it a security tool for all IT professionals.
