Rockland, MA August 17, 2005--Syngress Publishing, Inc., today
announced the publication of Network Security Evaluation Using the NSA IEM
(ISBN: 1597490350), which provides readers with a comprehensive "how
to" for conducting technical security evaluations using the National
Security Agency's own methodology.
This is the second in the extremely popular series of information security
books aimed at conveying the NSA's recommended methodology for
conducting security assessments and evaluations. Unlike other publications
of this genre that focus solely on tools and activities, Network Security
Evaluation provides a cradle-to-grave process that results in customized
metrics that allow both analysis and trending of a customer's
information security posture. In addition, legislation, regulation, and
legal issues are addressed by the former Deputy Legal Adviser to
Condoleezza Rice.
