Understanding and Auditing It Systems, Volume 1 Young-woon Min Second edition

The complex and integrated nature of IT systems, along with the diversified patterns of implementation, causes the correct security implementation and audits of IT systems to be very difficult without the proper knowledge of the basic skeletons of the systems including the hardware architecture, operating systems, RDBMS, networks and communications, application development process, internal control issues and others.

This book makes these diverse issues easily accessible by presenting the core concepts and practice issues in an organized and orderly pattern. These discussions not only enable the effective and efficient audits of IT systems but any additional IT system issues can be easily challenged based on these since the discussions are well-rounded and truly scalable.

This book presents the insightful and workable guidelines to enable the knowledgeable audits of IT systems by addressing most of the pertinent issues for the security implementation and audits of the IT systems.
