"...this book couldn’t be more topical…it provides those who are tasked to implement an organization’s security strategy with an easy-to-follow plan of action to cover – and keep covering – all their bases." --Help Net Security

"The authors propose methods for more adaptive and comprehensive approaches to information security…For those looking for a methodology to create a more robust information security program, Advanced Persistent Security is a valuable resource." --RSAConference.com

Advanced Persistent Security covers secure network design and implementation, including authentication, authorization, data and access integrity, network monitoring, and risk assessment. Using such recent high profile cases as Target, Sony, and Home Depot, the book explores information security risks, identifies the common threats organizations face, and presents tactics on how to prioritize the right countermeasures.

The book discusses concepts such as malignant versus malicious threats, adversary mentality, motivation, the economics of cybercrime, the criminal infrastructure, dark webs, and the criminals organizations currently face.
