This book offers a thorough yet easy-to-read reference guide to various aspects of cloud computing security. It begins with an introduction to the general concepts of cloud computing, followed by a discussion of security aspects that examines how cloud security differs from conventional information security and reviews cloud-specific classes of threats and attacks. A range of varying threats in cloud computing are covered, from threats of data loss and data breaches, to threats to availability and threats posed by malicious insiders. Further, the book discusses attacks launched on different levels, including attacks on the hypervisor, and on the confidentiality of data. Newer types, such as side-channel attacks and resource-freeing attacks, are also described. The work closes by providing a set of general security recommendations for the cloud.

This easy-to-follow text/reference presents a practical guide to the configuration of Cisco routers, from tasks for beginners to advanced operations. The work starts with the simple step-by-step task of connecting the router and performing basic configuration, before building up to complex and sensitive operations such as router IOS upgrade and Site-to-Site VPNs. This updated and expanded new edition has been enhanced with a more detailed treatment of each topic, supported by a set of training scenarios to test the readers’ skills. Topics and features: Presents a uniquely accessible style, addressing router users’ everyday configuration needs without requiring a detailed knowledge of the underlying theory Discusses basic configuration, domestic duties, standard and advanced routing, WAN technologies, security, router management, remote connectivity, and practical tips Explains in detail the steps required to configure different protocols on Cisco routers, outlining when it would be necessary to invoke each procedure Includes coverage of MPLS, multicasting, GRE, HSRP, reflexive and timed-access lists, and configuration steps for IPv6 (NEW) Provides an extensive selection of training scenarios, designed to offer hands-on practice in the relevant tasks (NEW) This must-have collection of “how-to” instructions will prove to be an invaluable reference to anyone seeking to learn about Cisco routers configuration, whether they be field network engineers handling Cisco routers, or students working on Cisco routers in their labs. Dr. Mohammed M. Alani is Provost and Associate Professor of Computer Engineering at Al-Khawarizmi International College, Abu Dhabi, UAE. His other publications include the Springer titles Elements of Cloud Computing Security, and Guide to OSI and TCP/IP Models.

This work opens with an accessible introduction to computer networks, providing general definitions of commonly used terms in networking. This is followed by a detailed description of the OSI model, including the concepts of connection-oriented and connectionless communications. The text carefully elaborates the specific functions of each layer, along with what is expected of protocols operating at each layer. Next, the journey of a single packet, from source to destination, is described in detail. The final chapter is devoted to the TCP/IP model, beginning with a discussion of IP protocols and the supporting ARP, RARP, and InARP protocols. The work also discusses the TCP and UDP protocols operating at the transport layer, and the application layer protocols HTTP, DNS, FTP, TFTP, SMTP, POP3, and Telnet. Important facts and definitions are highlighted in gray boxes found throughout the text.
