Syngress Publishing Announces Publication of "Network Security Using the NSA IEM"

Rockland, MA August 17, 2005--Syngress Publishing, Inc., today announced the publication of Network Security Evaluation Using the NSA IEM
(ISBN: 0), which provides readers with a comprehensive "how to" for conducting technical security evaluations using the National Security Agency's own methodology.

This is the second in the extremely popular series of information security books aimed at conveying the NSA's recommended methodology for conducting security assessments and evaluations. Unlike other publications of this genre that focus solely on tools and activities, Network Security Evaluation provides a cradle-to-grave process that results in customized metrics that allow both analysis and trending of a customer's information security posture. In addition, legislation, regulation, and legal issues are addressed by the former Deputy Legal Adviser to Condoleezza Rice.
