This chapter will explore public and private keys, roots and chaining, digital certificates, Certificate Authorities (CAs), and Secure Socket Layer (SSL).

The purpose of this Tips and Tricks Guide is to answer common questions about secure content appliances and their role in enterprise security. The guide is divided into four volumes, each focusing on a different topic. The guide concludes with Volume 4 and particular emphasis on spyware, s*pam, phishing attacks, and access controls on Internet content.

Chapter 4 takes a look at some prescriptive guidance and best practices. That is, ways to prevent problems from becoming disasters. A little preventative maintenance forethought can mean the difference between a bad day gone good and a bad day gone really, really bad. Steps you can take to avoid disaster include planning by having redundancy built-in to your network, keeping an ongoing backup of your data, backing up your AD support structure, and knowing which backup type to use.

An effective information security program consists of many layers. Such layering establishes a more reliable security posture; if a failure or breach occurs in one layer, it will not compromise the other concentric layers. Implementing security within these multi-dimensional layers will provide a comprehensive enterprise information assurance framework within which organizations can then apply the appropriate tools and establish appropriate corresponding management activities. As Chapter 5 explains, taking the time to establish this framework may seem overwhelming at first, but doing so in a thoughtful way will truly result in simplifying the complexity of managing security and will distribute and incorporate security responsibilities throughout the enterprise.

Understanding Exchange disaster recovery can take a while. The first step, naturally enough, is to gain an understanding of the fundamentals of Exchange protection.

These past couple of weeks have marked another milestone for Realtimepublishers. We have launched our second expert-led community, Realtime-ITCompliance, with the help of IT Compliance guru Rebecca Herold. Not only will Rebecca offer her expert insight for professionals who need to better understand how IT Compliance will affect their business, she is also answering questions through the message boards and offering regular posts to her IT Compliance blog.

We are also happy to announce our newest eBook, The Shortcut Guide to Managing Certificate Lifecycles, for all of the folks who are learning how PKI and Certificate Authorities can work for them. We have a number of security titles also releasing chapters on topics such as layered security, security appliances, and Windows recovery.
And lastly, I am extremely excited to announce that Series Editor Don Jones will begin his own blog to inform all of our readers of the new eBooks and chapters that will be released on Nexus. Don has offered his expertise for a number of Realtimepublishers titles, and continues to lend his knowledge and experience by shaping the content of many of the eBooks we are currently publishing. Don's new blog will take over where Sean's Corner will leave off, offering an up-to-the-minute guide on all of the newest Realtime releases. Keep an eye out for the first post!
