Securing Systems with the Solaris Security Toolkit
The Solaris Security Toolkit, also informally known as "jass", is a tool designed to assist in the development, deployment, and maintenance of secured Solaris Operating Environment systems. The Toolkit is comprised of a set of scripts and directories implementing the recommendations of Noordergraafs security-related Sun BluePrints articles.
KEY TOPICS: The authors cover deploying security measures across an enterprise. Securing computer systems against unauthorized access is one of the most pressing issues facing todays datacenter administrators. Many attacks have preventive solutions available; however, every day, hackers compromise systems using well-known attack methods. This book provides instructions and preferred practices for hardening systems and minimizing entry points to intruders to increase security. Sun BluePrints page is Suns leading source for in-depth technical information on Best Practices using Sun Solutions. The Sun BluePrints program publications, synonymous with Best Practices, are "applied methodologies, derived from practical experience, that result in the best solutions for a well-defined problem." MARKET: The target audience for this book is system administrators who use the Toolkit to secure Solaris 2.5.1 through 9 OE. This includes individuals using the Toolkit in its JumpStart mode or stand-alone mode. System integrators, consultants, and others who are deploying new Sun systems or securing legacy systems will also be interested in this guide.
