Computer security has become a critical business concern, and, as such, the responsibility of all IT professionals. In this groundbreaking book, a security expert with AT&T Business's renowned Network Services organization explores system security architecture from a software engineering perspective. He explains why strong security must be a guiding principle of the development process and identifies a common set of features found in most security products, explaining how they can and should impact the development cycle. The book also offers in-depth discussions of security technologies, cryptography, database security, application and operating system security, and more.Download latest books on mediafire and other links compilation Free Designing Security Architecture Solutions (Wiley Desktop Editions) [Kindle Edition]

(Full review on [...])In this book, Ramachandran has developed a very "practical handbook on security architecture," targeted at project managers, software engineers, and system architects. By guiding the reader through the steps of systems engineering, he builds an effective framework. ... The book is arranged into five parts: architecture and security, low-level architecture, mid-level architecture, high-level architecture, and business cases and security.
In the first section, the author prepares a tutorial to refresh the reader on various software methodologies ... [and on] ... the contents of a security assessment, including preparation, assessment and reporting. Through this discussion, he introduces the reader to the business realities of planning for security-both cost and time-and how to evaluate the tradeoffs. Ramachandran also gives a focused tutorial on the concepts and basic tools available.
In Part 2, Ramachandran provides practical, concrete reasons for the application of sound system development principles, without sounding preachy. His analysis of code reviews would be useful for any team leaders who want to improve their groups' deliverables. ... He continues to use the approach of theory, example, methods, challenges, and evaluation in the following chapters on cryptography, trusted code, and secure communications.
Part 3 examines mid-level architecture, including middleware, Web security, application and OS security, and database security. The key message in this section is the complexity of issues that must be handled here ... Once again, the author has provided neat descriptions of the functions and problems of the elements at this level. The author keeps the pace and language consistent throughout.
Part 4 reviews the high-level architecture ... [and] ...
This is one of the most pragmatic, thorough books on security architectures I've read. The approach the author takes represents best practices in a number of disciplines, including architecture, software engineering, and infrastructure management. This holistic view of security architecture is not provided in total in any of the hundreds of security books I've read.Among the reasons I like and recommend this book are: the approach starts with architectural principles and a survey of approaches based on well known models, as well as development life cycles in the real world. The chapter on security assessments shows how to determine a security posture, establish a baseline and deal with gaps. In addition, the chapters on Security Architecture Basics and Architecture Patterns will provide the foundation of a viable approach to designing a strong security architecture.
I also like the way each architectural building block is systematically covered in subsequent chapters, beginning in Part II with low-level architecture components and technical details that span code review techniques, cryptography fundamentals and related topics. Part III covers the mid-level components in detail, including middleware, web, database, application and OS security. Part IV tackles high-level security, culminating in an enterprise security architecture based on low- and mid-level components, and the process-oriented approach provided in the previous parts of the book. This book goes deep into technical details of every facet of the components, showing how they work, interrelationships, standards, and advice for how to deal with challenges and vulnerabilities.
Making the business case for security, the topic of Part V, is as thorough and detailed as the preceding technical chapters.
