Take a look inside the book!

9/11 caused major changes in alerting groups to the potential additional attacks. The Department of Homeland Security (DHS) deployed The Homeland Security Advisory System with general guidance for what to do for security.

What it did, however, was leave those in various security domains like Information Technology (IT) asking:

“What actions should I take to protect my IT system as the Threat Condition Levels change?”

In response to this question, this book identifies specific actions that could be taken by IT managers when DHS raises or lowers the Threat Condition Levels. Not all IT systems have the same security requirements or configurations, but this book provides IT managers with a reference and shopping list from which they can establish what actions are right for their systems.

To ensure that this handbook supports a total security approach and includes all security domains, the suggested actions cover all aspects of IT security:

Anti-virus	Firewalls	Router
Awareness	Intrusion Detection	Security Management
Backups	Intrusion Prevention	Spam Filtering
Cyber Alerts	Modems	Systems Monitoring
Email	Patches	Website, etc.

The format was designed by IT Managers and Security Officers, so that it can be tailored to be a quick reference manual for developing cyber incident response plans and coordinating actual responses.
