Business Environment Focus Offer more context: Increased Business Focus. This edition includes more of a focus on the business applications of the concepts. Emphasis has been placed on securing corporate information systems, rather than just hosts in general. The concepts, principles, and terminology have remained the same, but the implications of each topic are more focused on the business environment.   Encourage Student’s to Apply Concepts Encourage application: Hands-On Projects. Each chapter now contains new hands-on projects that use contemporary software. Each project relates directly to the chapter material. Students take a screenshot to show they have completed the project. Show how it all connects: Comprehensive Framework. Serving as a roadmap for students, this text’s comprehensive security framework ties all of the chapters together. This framework works to help increase retention of the material by illustrating how topic areas relate to each other. See the concepts in action: Case Studies and Focus Articles. Each chapter includes applied case studies or focus articles. Ranging in topics, these cases/articles cover:   High-profile security incidents Technical security topics Profiles of industry professionals Security certifications New types of attacks Articles by industry leaders Keep Your Course Current and Relevant Bring lectures to life: Embedded Video PowerPoint Presentations. A supplemental set of 125+ PowerPoint slides contain embedded videos linked to content hosted on YouTube.

NEW! Opening Case—The opening case in Chapter 1 covers a series of data breaches that resulted in one of the largest known data losses to date. The case looks at the sequence of events surrounding the three data breaches at Sony Corp. It then examines how the attackers were able to steal the data, possible motives behind the attacks, arrests and punishment of the attackers, and the impacts on Sony Corp. This case acts as an illustration of the real-world threat environment corporations face today. NEW! Business Case Studies—This edition has tried to have more of a business focus by adding in a real-world case study at the end of each chapter. The case studies are designed to show how the material presented in the chapter could have a direct impact on an actual corporation. After each case study there are key findings from prominent annual industry reports related to the case and chapter material. Case studies, combined with key findings from relevant industry reports, should provide ample material for classroom discussion. Open-ended case questions are included to help guide case discussions. They also offer students the opportunity to apply, analyze, and synthesize the material presented in the chapter. NEW! Hands-on Projects—Each chapter has new, or updated, hands-on projects that use contemporary security software. Each project relates directly to the chapter material. Students are directed to take a screenshot to show they have completed the project. Projects are designed such that each student will have a unique screenshot after completing each project. Any sharing or duplication of project deliverables will be obvious.
