This course presents an overview of state-of-the-art e-business security. It examines the most recent attack strategies and offers specific technologies and techniques for combating attempts at data infiltration, destruction, and denial of service attacks. Taking the view that security must be incorporated within multiple levels of e-business technology and practice, the course presents measures for securing system platform, applications, operating environment, processes, and communication links. It shows how the traditional security technologies of firewalls and Virtual Private Networks (VPNs) can be integrated with risk management, vulnerability assessment, intrusion detection, and content management for a comprehensive approach to security.
