With more than 67% of web servers running Apache, it is by far the most widely used web server platform in the world. Apache has evolved into a powerful system that easily rivals other HTTP servers in terms of functionality, efficiency, and speed. Despite these impressive capabilities, though, Apache is only a beneficial tool if it`s a secure one. To be sure, administrators installing and configuring Apache still need a sure-fire way to secure it--whether it`s running a huge e-commerce operation, corporate intranet, or just a small hobby site. Our new guide, Apache Security, gives administrators and webmasters just what they crave--a comprehensive security source for Apache. Successfully combining Apache administration and web security topics, Apache Security speaks to nearly everyone in the field. What`s more, it offers a concise introduction to the theory of securing Apache, as well as a broad perspective on server security in general. But this book isn`t just about theory. The real strength of Apache Security lies in its wealth of interesting and practical advice, with many real-life examples and solutions. Administrators and programmers will learn how to:

install and configure Apache
prevent denial of service (DoS) and other attacks
securely share servers
control logging and monitoring
secure custom-written web applications
conduct a web security assessment
use mod_security and other security-related modules

And that`s just the tip of the iceberg, as mainstream Apache users will also gain valuable information on PHP and SSL/ TLS. Clearly, Apache Security is packed and to the point, with plenty of details for locking down this extremely popular and versatile web server.
