Riassunto

This book will cover network management security issues and currently available security mechanisms by discussing how network architectures have evolved into the contemporary NGNs which support converged services (voice, video, TV, interactive information exchange, and classic data communications). It will also analyze existing security standards and their applicability to securing network management. This book will review 21st century security concepts of authentication, authorization, confidentiality, integrity, nonrepudiation, vulnerabilities, threats, risks, and effective approaches to encryption and associated credentials management/control. The book will highlight deficiencies in existing protocols used for management and the transport of management information.

Dalla quarta di copertina:

An authoritative guide for improving the security of enterprise and service provider networks everywhere

Unlike traditional enterprise networks, where users connect to IT resources within an organization's demilitarized zone (DMZ), next generation networks (NGN) serve users logging onto virtualized resources from a diverse array of devices and locations. Clearly, NGNs require an integrated approach to the management of security rather than unmanageable and non-integrated add-on solutions.

In contrast to most books on the subject, which limit coverage of security management to discussions of SNMP authentication and confidentiality mechanisms, this book considers it a governance issue that needs to follow the "Plan, Do, Check, and Act" approach pioneered by W. Edwards Deming. Following an account of the evolution of standardized network management concepts over the last twenty years, author Stuart Jacobs:

• Analyzes existing security standards and management frameworks of NGNs
• Reviews authentication, authorization, confidentiality, integrity, non-repudiation, vulnerabilities, threats, risk management, and other key security concepts
• Details effective approaches to encryption and associated credentials management/control
• Considers secure interoperability between telecommunications service provider management systems and between service providers over security domain boundaries
• Highlights the critical need for well-organized information security policies, security structures, and approaches for clearly defining security requirements and security procedures
• Presents an integrated security management framework that expands on TMN and eTOM security functional areas
• Provides in-depth coverage of operations security (OPSEC)—the area in which the "Act" and "Check" aspects are most fully realized

Security Management of Next Generation Telecommunications Networks and Services is a valuable resource for telecommunications and IT professionals, as well as enterprise systems engineers/architects.
