Ryzyko w cyberbezpieczeństwie. Metody modelowania, pomiaru i szacowania ryzyka. Wydanie II

Douglas W. Hubbard, Richard Seiersen

Lord Kelvin powtarzał, że jeśli nie potrafisz czegoś zmierzyć, to nie znasz tego wystarczająco dobrze. Ta zasada w pełni odnosi się do analizy ryzyka w cyberbezpieczeństwie, a słabość pomiarów prowadzi do podejmowania błędnych decyzji. Ta książka nauczy Cię nowych sposobów myślenia o problemie. Uważam, że jest lekturą obowiązkową dla naszej dziedziny! John "Four" Flynn, CISO Amazon Stores Oto drugie wydanie książki, którą specjaliści CISO uznali za przełomową. Dowiesz się z niej, jak kwantyfikować niepewność i jak za pomocą prostych metod i narzędzi poprawić ocenę ryzyka w nowoczesnych organizacjach. Znalazły się tu nowe techniki modelowania, pomiaru i szacowania, a także mnóstwo praktycznych wskazówek dotyczących wdrażania tych rozwiązań w formie spójnego programu. Nauczysz się też oceniać ryzyko, gdy masz dostęp do niewielu danych. Przekonasz się, że zamiast metod jakościowych dużo lepsze efekty w zarządzaniu ryzykiem cyberbezpieczeństwa osiąga się dzięki kwantyfikacji i zaplanowanym pomiarom. Ta książka umożliwia pewne poruszanie się w złożonym krajobrazie cyberbezpieczeństwa. Jason Chan, były wiceprezes do spraw bezpieczeństwa informacji, Netflix Opisane przez Hubbarda i Seiersena metody są praktyczne. Każdy, kto zajmuje się cyberbezpieczeństwem, powinien je stosować.

With a firm understanding of the basics, you will then explore how to use Nessus and Nmap to scan your network for vulnerabilities and open ports and gain back door entry into a network. As you progress through the chapters, you will gain insights into how to carry out various key scanning tasks, including firewall detection, OS detection, and access management to detect vulnerabilities in your network.By the end of this Learning Path, you will be familiar with the tools you need for network scanning and techniques for vulnerability scanning and network protection.This Learning Path includes content from the following Packt books:•Network Scanning Cookbook by Sairam Jetty•Network Vulnerability Assessment by Sagar Rahalkar

Security Automation with Ansible 2. Leverage Ansible 2 to automate complex security tasks like application security, network security, and malware analysis

Akash Mahajan, MADHU AKULA

Security automation is one of the most interesting skills to have nowadays. Ansible allows you to write automation procedures once and use them across your entire infrastructure. This book will teach you the best way to use Ansible for seemingly complex tasks by using the various building blocks available and creating solutions that are easy to teach others, store for later, perform version control on, and repeat.We’ll start by covering various popular modules and writing simple playbooks to showcase those modules. You’ll see how this can be applied over a variety of platforms and operating systems, whether they are Windows/Linux bare metal servers or containers on a cloud platform. Once the bare bones automation is in place, you’ll learn how to leverage tools such as Ansible Tower or even Jenkins to create scheduled repeatable processes around security patching, security hardening, compliance reports, monitoring of systems, and so on. Moving on, you’ll delve into useful security automation techniques and approaches, and learn how to extend Ansible for enhanced security. While on the way, we will tackle topics like how to manage secrets, how to manage all the playbooks that we will create and how to enable collaboration using Ansible Galaxy. In the final stretch, we’ll tackle how to extend the modules of Ansible for our use, and do all the previous tasks in a programmatic manner to get even more powerful automation frameworks and rigs.
