Security Concepts, Techniques, and Approaches

Successful security teams cannot simply deploy technologies to protect networks, hosts, applications, and content. They must also establish comprehensive security programs that develop policies, plan future architecture, and train users on their roles and responsibilities. In addition, security teams will automate critical management functions, to ensure proper deployment of technical systems and receive auditing/monitoring information that provides warnings or indications of potential problems.
