More people have taken the SANS Security Essentials course than any other information security course in the world and the numbers are rapidly growing. Today, security is so complex that each of us must realize there is a lot we do not know and understand. SANS Security Essentials has been developed to fill these gaps. A few people have filled notable roles in developing the course, though it is also the product of several hundred security practitioners in the defensive community working together, and it continues to evolve to meet the needs of the students. 
The day is coming when it will be hard to be considered a credible information security practitioner without holding a GIAC Security Essentials Certification. This book is a positive step forward in the evolution of the program. We care about your experiences, what works for you, what does not and the things you know that we do not, so do not be a stranger. 
SANS Security Essentials will teach you the language and underlying theory of computer security; and at the same time you will learn the essential up-to-the-minute knowledge and skills required for effective performance if you are given the responsibility for security systems and/or organizations.

Slow down. Think. Follow procedures. 
In the heat of the moment... when an incident has been discovered, rushed decision-making may not be effective. By setting up policies, procedures, and agreements in advance, you minimize the chance of making cata$trophic mistakes. This is why even the most experienced incident handling experts follow well defined and systematic procedures for responding to security-related incidents. They keep the six stages in mind -- preparation, detection, containment, eradication, recovery, and follow-up; they use pre-designed forms; and they call on others for help. 
Computer Security Incident Handling reflects the experience of incident handlers from more than 50 commercial, government and educational organizations. It is the first step in creating a set of incident handling procedures tailored to your organization's environment. Buy this book now and start reading. (Version 2.3.1, March 2003)

The target audience for this book is any IT professional responsible for designing, configuring, deploying or managing information systems. This audience understands that the purpose of ethics in information security is not just morally important; it equals the survival of their business. A perfect example of this is Enron. Enron's ultimate failure due to a glitch in the ethics systems of the business created the most infamous example of an ethics corporate breakdown resulting in disaster. Ethics is no longer a matter of morals anymore when it comes to information security; it is also a matter of success or failure for big business.
