More Technical Controls

Abstract

This chapter covers several other major technical services that require security controls. Once again, you may notice that the emphasis for effective security is on good basic practices like simplicity in design, security standards, and maintenance. As always, I urge you to think about what you need to accomplish with respect to risk reduction before you start implementing technical solutions or start buying tools. Fix the problems you need to fix and make sure that your operations team can maintain them and you have sufficient time and expertise to review their output.
