Vax Security: Protecting the System and the Data

Computers are the lifeblood of businesses in the world today. The importance of data storage and transfer from computer to computer depends on a degree of security that must not be underestimated. Reliable storage and retrieval measures and system back-up are essential. Additionally, the advent of ``hackers,'' ``viruses,'' theft and other forms of security breaks is a real danger, one that is virtually ever-present for users of VAX equipment with remote dial-in capability. This book can help you as you plan your system security, as it covers VAX security problems and types of security, ways to block hackers and viruses, as well steps for dealing with them if they get into your system. The book discusses limiting access and system restrictions, and network security, as well as in-house routine safeguards and protection measures for system storage and back-ups.
