Applied Network Security Monitoring<\/strong><\/a><\/h2>\n

\"\"<\/a>by Chris Sanders and Jason Smith<\/p>\n

“Applied Network Security Monitoring is the essential guide to becoming an NSM analyst from the ground up. This book takes a fundamental approach, complete with real-world examples that teach you the key concepts of NSM. Network security monitoring is based on the principle that prevention eventually fails. In the current threat landscape, no matter how much you try, motivated attackers will eventually find their way into your network.”<\/em><\/p>\n

Network Security Essentials<\/strong><\/a><\/h2>\n

\"\"<\/a>by William Stallings<\/p>\n

“Network Securities Essentials: Applications and Standards introduces readers to the critical importance of internet security in our age of universal electronic connectivity. Amidst viruses, hackers, and electronic fraud, organizations and individuals are constantly at risk of having their private information compromised. This creates a heightened need to protect data and resources from disclosure, guarantee their authenticity, and safeguard systems from network-based attacks.”<\/em><\/p>\n

Network Security Monitoring: Basics for Beginners<\/strong><\/a><\/h2>\n

\"\"<\/a>by Robert Collins<\/p>\n

“The author begins by explaining some of the basics of computer networking and the basic tools which can be used for monitoring a computer network. The process of capturing and analyzing the packets of a network is discussed in detail. This is a good technique which can help network security experts identify anomalies or malicious attacks on the packets transmitted over a network. You are also guided on how to monitor the network traffic for the Heartbleed bug, which is very vulnerable to network attackers.”<\/em><\/p>\n

Network Security with pfSense<\/strong><\/a><\/h2>\n

\"\"<\/a>by Manuj Aggarwal<\/p>\n

“While connected to the internet, you\u2019re a potential target for an array of cyber threats, such as hackers, keyloggers, and Trojans that attack through unpatched security holes. A firewall works as a barrier (or \u2018shield\u2019) between your computer and cyberspace. pfSense is highly versatile firewall software. With thousands of enterprises using pfSense, it is fast becoming the world’s most trusted open source network security solution.”<\/em><\/p>\n
