商品描述
This book provides an introduction to the basic ideas involved in cybersecurity, whose principal aim is protection of IT systems against unwanted behaviour mediated by the networks which connect them. Due to the widespread use of the Internet in modern society for activities ranging from social networking and entertainment to distribution of utilities and public administration, failures of cybersecurity can threaten almost all aspects of life today.
Cybersecurity is a necessity in the modern world, where computers and other electronic devices communicate via networks, and breakdowns in cybersecurity cost society many resources.
The aims of cybersecurity are quite simple: data must not be read, modified, deleted or made unavailable by persons who are not allowed to. To meet this major challenge successfully in the digitally interconnected world, one needs to master numerous disciplines because modern IT systems contain software, cryptographic modules, computing units, networks, and human users--all of which can influence the success or failure in the effort.
Topics and features:
- Introduces readers to the main components of a modern IT system: basic hardware, networks, operating system, and network-based applications
- Contains numerous theoretical and practical exercises to illustrate important topics
- Discusses protective mechanisms commonly used to ensure cybersecurity and how effective they are
- Discusses the use of cryptography for achieving security in IT systems
- Explains how to plan for protecting IT systems based on analysing the risk of various forms of failure
- Illustrates how human users may affect system security and ways of improving their behaviour
- Discusses what to do if a security failure takes place
- Presents important legal concepts relevant for cybersecurity, including the concept of cybercrime
This accessible, clear textbook is intended especially for students starting a relevant course in computer science or engineering, as well as for professionals looking for a general introduction to the topic.
Dr. Robin Sharp is an emeritus professor in the Cybersecurity Section at DTU Compute, the Dept. of Applied Mathematics and Computer Science at the Technical University of Denmark (DTU).
商品描述(中文翻譯)
本書介紹了涉及網絡安全的基本概念，其主要目的是保護IT系統免受通過連接它們的網絡進行的非法行為的侵害。由於現代社會廣泛使用互聯網進行各種活動，從社交網絡和娛樂到公用事業和公共管理的分發，網絡安全的失敗幾乎會威脅到當今生活的方方面面。
網絡安全在現代世界是必需的，因為計算機和其他電子設備通過網絡進行通信，而網絡安全的故障會給社會帶來許多資源損失。
網絡安全的目標非常簡單：不允許未經授權的人讀取、修改、刪除或使數據無法使用。為了在數字互聯的世界中成功應對這一重大挑戰，人們需要掌握多個學科，因為現代IT系統包含軟件、加密模塊、計算單元、網絡和人類用戶，所有這些都可能影響努力的成功或失敗。
主題和特點：
- 介紹讀者主要的現代IT系統組件：基本硬件、網絡、操作系統和基於網絡的應用程序
- 包含多個理論和實踐練習，以說明重要主題
- 討論常用的保護機制，以確保網絡安全以及它們的有效性
- 討論在IT系統中實現安全性的加密使用
- 解釋如何通過分析各種故障風險來計劃保護IT系統
- 說明人類用戶如何影響系統安全以及改善其行為的方法
- 討論安全故障發生時應該怎麼做
- 介紹與網絡安全相關的重要法律概念，包括網絡犯罪的概念
這本易於理解、清晰的教科書特別適用於開始相關計算機科學或工程課程的學生，以及尋求對該主題有一般介紹的專業人士。
Dr. Robin Sharp是丹麥技術大學（DTU）應用數學和計算機科學系（DTU Compute）網絡安全部門的名譽教授。
作者簡介
After obtaining a Ph.D in physics from Cambridge University, Robin Sharp has been working in the IT area since the early 1970s. He has many years experience in the design and analysis of computer networks, both at the academic level and in collaboration with industrial companies. He is currently an emeritus profesor at DTU Compute, the Department of Applied Mathematics and Computer Science at the Technical University of Denmark (DTU), where he has been employed since 1973.
He is the author of the book "Principles of Protocol Design" on network protocols, whose second edition was published by Springer Verlag in 2008. His book "What's Cybersecurity All About?", aimed at ordinary computer users, was published by Polyteknisk Forlag, the university publishers at DTU, in 2020.
Since the 1990s, the main focus of his work has been on security in networks and methods for secure design of computer systems. This has included work on aspects of human interaction with computer systems and its affect on cybersecurity. He has had the operative responsibility for IT security as CISO at DTU Compute.
Robin Sharp is an experienced teacher, having taught courses on computer security and network security since the middle 1990s, including a course for non-IT specialists, which has been an inspiration for the current book.
