Description
Security is a growing duty of the everyday system administrator. While there are certifications and specialized (expensive) training classes, there is not a go-to-off-the-shelf resource to tackle these obstacles. With a large and growing number of system administrators worldwide, security is quickly becoming one of the weakest areas in their skill set, but one of the most necessary. This book helps bridge the gap for this occupation.
