Now that thereās software in everything, how can you make anythingĀ secure? UnderstandĀ how to engineerĀ dependable systemsĀ with this newly updatedĀ classicĀ Ā
InĀ Security Engineering: A Guide to Building Dependable Distributed Systems,Ā Third EditionĀ Cambridge University professor Ross Anderson updates hisĀ classic textbookĀ and teaches readers how to design, implement, and test systemsĀ toĀ withstandĀ bothĀ errorĀ and attack.Ā Ā
ThisĀ bookĀ became a best-seller in 2001 and helped establish the discipline of security engineering.Ā By the second edition in 2008,Ā underground dark marketsĀ hadĀ let the bad guys specialize andĀ scale up;Ā attacks were increasingly on users rather than on technology.Ā The bookĀ repeatedĀ itsĀ successĀ by showing how security engineers canĀ focus onĀ usability.Ā Ā

- The economics of securityĀ and dependability āĀ why companies buildĀ vulnerableĀ systems andĀ governments look the otherĀ wayĀ
- How dozens of industries went online ā well orĀ badly
- How to manage securityĀ and safetyĀ engineeringĀ in a world of agile developmentĀ ā from reliability engineering toĀ DevSecOpsĀ
The thirdĀ edition ofĀ Security EngineeringĀ ends with a grand challenge: sustainable security.Ā As we build ever more softwareĀ and connectivityĀ into safety-critical durable goods like cars and medical devices, howĀ doĀ we design systemsĀ we canĀ maintain and defend for decades?Ā Or will everything in the world need monthly software upgrades, and become unsafe once they stop?Ā
