This important text/reference presents a comprehensive guide to the field of computing and information security and assurance. The book takes a broad view of computer network security, encompassing online social networks, and wireless and mobile systems.This fully updated new edition explores the security issues, vulnerabilities and dangers encountered by the users of modern computing and communication devices, highlighting the need to develop improved algorithms, protocols, and best practices to enhance the security of public, private and enterprise systems alike.Topics and features: introduces the fundamentals of traditional computer networks, the security threats they face, and the best practices currently in use; discusses the security challenges introduced by virtualization software, cloud computing and mobile systems; examines the security quagmire presented by the home computing environment and the growing number of home hotspots (NEW); raises important legislative, legal, social, technical and ethical security issues, including the tension between the needs of individual privacy and collective security; provides both quickly workable and more thought-provoking exercises at the end of each chapter, with one chapter devoted entirely to lab exercises; supplies additional support material for instructors at an associated website, including laboratory exercises and projects, answers to selected exercises, and course slides.This unique work is suitable as both a teaching and a reference tool for all those interested in learning about security in the evolving computing ecosystem. Computer network and data security personnel and policy makers will also find the guide to be a useful and unique source of ideas.

The rapid pace of change in computing demands a continuous review of our defensive strategies, and a strong ethical framework in our computer science education.This fully revised and enhanced fifth edition of Ethical and Social Issues in the Information Age examines the ethical, social, and policy challenges stemming from the convergence of computing and telecommunication, and the proliferation of mobile information-enabling devices. This accessible and engaging text surveys thought-provoking questions about the impact of these new technologies.Topics and features: establishes a philosophical framework and analytical tools for discussing moral theories and problems in ethical relativism; offers pertinent discussions on privacy, surveillance, employee monitoring, biometrics, civil liberties, harassment, the digital divide, and discrimination; examines the new ethical, cultural and economic realities of computer social network ecosystems (NEW); reviews issues of property rights, responsibility and accountability relating to information technology and software; discusses how virtualization technology informs our ethical behavior (NEW); introduces the new frontiers of ethics - virtual reality, artificial intelligence, and the Internet; surveys the social, moral and ethical value systems in mobile telecommunications (NEW); explores the evolution of electronic crime, network security, and computer forensics; provides exercises, objectives, and issues for discussion with every chapter.This comprehensive textbook incorporates the latest requirements for computer science curricula. Both students and practitioners will find the book an invaluable source of insight into computer ethics and law, network security, and computer crime investigation.

This fully revised and updated new edition of the definitive text/reference on computer network and information security presents a comprehensive guide to the repertoire of security tools, algorithms and best practices mandated by the technology we depend on.

In its revised fifth edition, this book covers ethical, social and policy challenges arising from the convergence of computing and telecommunication and the spread of mobile information devices. Asks important questions about the impact of new technologies.

In its 4th edition, this book remains focused on increasing public awareness of the nature and motives of cyber vandalism and cybercriminals, the weaknesses inherent in cyberspace infrastructure, and the means available to protect ourselves and our society. This new edition aims to integrate security education and awareness with discussions of morality and ethics. The reader will gain an understanding of how the security of information in general and of computer networks in particular, on which our national critical infrastructure and, indeed, our lives depend, is based squarely on the individuals who build the hardware and design and develop the software that run the networks that store our vital information. Addressing security issues with ever-growing social networks are two new chapters: "Security of Mobile Systems" and "Security in the Cloud Infrastructure." Instructors considering this book for use in a course may request an examination copy here.
