This concise, practical book brings together all the information system

administrators need to secure Solaris 10 successfully in any environment, large

or small, on any hardware platform. Authored by a team of security experts at

rarely performed, but must be handled correctly the first time.

This book is packed with step-by-step guidance, tested examples, and expert

troubleshooting solutions gleaned from real-world enterprise deployments.

Topics covered include: making the right security decisions before and during

installation; hardening the OS; protecting file systems; using roles and

privileges, implementing cryptographic services, securing networks,

authentication, auditing, utilizing Zones virtualization security, working with

Trusted Extensions, and much more.

A full chapter of example implementations present the anatomy of a typical

attack and demonstrate how Solaris 10 security features can prevent it from

succeeding.

Von der hinteren Coverseite

Solaris™ 10 Security Essentials describes the various security technologies contained in the Solaris operating system. The book describes how to make installations secure and how to configure the OS to the particular needs of your environment, whether your systems are on the edge of the Internet or running a data center. The authors present the material in a straightforward way that makes a seemingly arcane subject accessible to system administrators at all levels.

 

The strengths of the Solaris operating system’s security model are its scalability and its adaptability. It can protect a single user with login authentication or multiple users with Internet and intranet configurations requiring user-rights management, authentication, encryption, IP security, key management, and more. This book is written for users who need to secure their laptops, network administrators who must secure an entire company, and everyone in between.

 

The book’s topics include

• Zones virtualization security
• System hardening
• Trusted Extensions (Multi-layered Security)
• Privileges and role-based access control (RBAC)
• Cryptographic services and key management
• Auditing
• Network security
• Pluggable Authentication Modules (PAM)

Solaris™ 10 Security Essentials is the first in a new series on Solaris system administration. It is a superb guide to deploying and managing secure computer environments.
