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:
“The horror of class stratification, racism, and prejudice is that some people begin to believe that the security of their families and communities depends on the oppression of others, that for some to have good lives there must be others whose lives are truncated and brutal.”
—Dorothy Allison (b. 1949)
