First published in 1994, the book Firewalls and Internet Security: Repelling the Wily Hacker by William R. Cheswick and Steve Bellovin helped define the concept of a network firewall. Describing in detail one of the first major firewall deployments at AT&T, the book exerted a profound influence on the formation of the perimeter security model, which became the dominant network security architecture in the mid-1990s.
Famous quotes containing the word security:
“Thanks to recent trends in the theory of knowledge, history is now better aware of its own worth and unassailability than it formerly was. It is precisely in its inexact character, in the fact that it can never be normative and does not have to be, that its security lies.”
—Johan Huizinga (1872–1945)
