Embedded Java Security: Security for Mobile Devices
Product Description
Whereas Java brings functionality and versatility to the world of mobile devices, at the same time it also introduces new security threats. The rapid growth of the number of mobile devices that support Java makes this a pressing issue. Embedded Java Security carefully examines the security aspects of Java and offers a security evaluation for the Java platform.
After explaining background material on the architecture of embedded platforms and relating to its role in security, the book deconstructs the security model into its main components: It explains each component and relates it to the aim of securing the applications and the device. Toward this end, several implementations of the Java platform are examined and tested to relate the model to its actual implementation on devices. The security holes found are further used to clarify security issues and point out common errors. Finally, the book provides an evaluation of embedded Java security that includes security models and security tests performed on real-life implementations.

Access Denied: The Practice and Policy of Global Internet Filtering
MIT Press | ISBN: 0262541963 | 2008 | PDF | 320 pages | 8.88 MB
This book is a testament to collaboration. About five years ago, it became clear to several of us—at the University of Cambridge, Harvard Law School, and the University of Toronto—that we might accomplish more by working together, across institutions and continents, than we could by going it alone. Since that time, the Oxford Internet Institute has joined our team, along with more than fifty researchers around the globe. Collaboration is not easy; we have had our share of struggles along the way to keep our partnership functioning effectively. Neither the analytical chapters of this volume nor the new global data set that we have compiled, on which our analytical work relies, would be possible without the partnership that joins us.

I5/OS Diagnostic Tools for System Administrators
Although the System i servers rate over a 99.9% availability factor, there are times when problems occur. Some problems limit the use of a device, program, or application. More severe and pervasive problems limit the use of more components. In either circumstance, the amount of time a component is unavailable relates directly to the actions taken to manage the situation. The ability to resolve problems depends on the tools that are available, the knowledge (and attitude) of the worker, the symptoms and nature of the problem at hand, and other factors.
This book is designed to introduce you to the problem determination aids used in an i5/OS® environment. You can become familiar with the tools that are available and the instructions for how each one works. As proficiency is built with the use of each tool and familiarity with the procedures, efficiency of the system operator and service personnel increases.
Consider this book a “Don’t Panic, Read Me First” guide to help you support System i models. It discusses problem analysis, problem determination, and problem source identification. And it offers you step-by-step instructions that show you how to use the i5/OS problem determination aids to produce detailed problem information…

HP OpenView System Administration Handbook: Network Node Manager, Customer Views, Service Information Portal
Publisher: Prentice Hall PTR | 2004-09-02 | ISBN 0130352098 | PDF | 688 pages | 18.74 MB
This book is designed as a hand-on guide to three OpenView products: Network Node Manager (NNM), Customer Views (CV), and Service Information Portal (SIP). The book begins with a review of network management and Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP). Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP) is the protocol governing network management and the monitoring of network devices and their functions. While NNM provides the physical layout of the networked enterprise, Customer Views (CV) provides a logical view of devices based on customer ownership. CV provides the ability to define which customers will be affected by which resources. This book covers CV's additional containers to the NNM root submap, including: Key Resources, Customers
, Devices, Internet Links, and Sites. Because CV allows you to configure a restricted view of the network, this aspect of the book will appeal to Managed Service Providers (MSPs). This book also covers Service Information Portal (SIP), which provides a web accessible interface to some of the data available in NNM and CV. SIP also contains gauges to display the overall health of Key Resources, Customer Premises Equipment, Routers, Interfaces and Servers as defined in NNM and CV.
Summary: Must have!!
Rating: 5
If you are working with Openview Operations and/or Network Node Manager you will constantly use this book! I recommend the book to all of my customers and carry it with me onsite!

Securing Windows Server 2008
Securing Windows Server 2008 Prevent Attacks from Outside and Inside Your OrganizationSyngress | 2008 | English | 656 pages | PDF | 12MB
Microsoft hails the latest version of its flagship server operating system, Windows Server 2008, as “the most secure Windows Server ever“. However, to fully achieve this lofty status, system administrators and security professionals must install, configure, monitor, log, and troubleshoot a dizzying array of new features and tools designed to keep the bad guys out and maintain the integrity of their network servers. This is no small task considering the market saturation of Windows Server and the rate at which it is attacked by malicious hackers.
According to IDC, Windows Server runs 38% of all network servers. This market prominence also places Windows Server at the top of the SANS top 20 Security Attach Targets. The first five attack targets listed in the SANS top 20 for operating systems are related to Windows Server. This doesn’t mean that Windows is inherently less secure than other operating systems; it’s simply a numbers game. More machines running Windows Server. More targets for attackers to hack.
As a result of being at the top of the “most used” and “most hacked” lists, Microsoft has released a truly powerful suite of security tools for system administrators to deploy with Windows Server 2008. This book is the comprehensive guide needed by system administrators and security professionals to master seemingly overwhelming arsenal of new security tools including:
1. Network Access Protection, which gives administrators the power to isolate computers that don’t comply with established security policies. The ability to enforce security requirements is a powerful means of protecting the network.
2. Enhanced solutions for intelligent rules and policies creation to increase control and protection over networking functions, allowing administrators to have a policy-driven network.
3. Protection of data to ensure it can only be accessed by users with the correct security context, and to make it available when hardware failures occur.
4. Protection against malicious software with User Account Control with a new authentication architecture.
5. Increased control over your user settings with Expanded Group Policy.
…to name just a handful of the new security features. In short, Windows Server 2008 contains by far the most powerful and complex suite of security tools ever released in a Microsoft Server product. Securing Windows Server 2008 provides system administrators and security professionals with the knowledge they need to harness this power.
* Describes new technologies and features in Windows Server 2008, such as improvements to networking and remote access features, centralized server role management, and an improved file system.
* Outlines steps for installing only the necessary components and subsystems of Windows Server 2008 in your environment. No GUI needed.
* Describes Windows Server 2008?s security innovations, such as Network Access Protection, Federated Rights Management, and Read-Only Domain Controller
* Includes coverage of monitoring, securing, and troubleshooting Windows Server 2008
* Covers Microsoft?s Hyper-V virtualization technology, which is offered as an add-on to four of the eight versions of Windows Server 2008 and as a stand-alone product
