O'Reilly Published Apache Security

Ivan Ristic's new book, Apache Security (O'Reilly, US $34.95), tackles the subject exhaustively, providing a valuable new resource for those charged with keeping their servers secure. Written for system administrators, programmers, system architects, and web security professionals, Apache Security covers the full range of web security topics, with detailed recommendations for all aspects of securing both the 1.3 and 2.0 version of Apache. When read sequentially, the book examines how a secure system is built from the ground up, adding layer upon layer of security. However, since each chapter was written to cover a single subject in its entirety, readers can also go directly to specific issues that interest them. [Bill Fox]
