In todays networked era  information is an organizations most valuable resource. Lack of customer  partner  and employee access to e-commerce and data servers can impact both revenue and productivity. Even so  most networks do not have the proper degree of security. Network Security Principles and Practices provides an in-depth understanding of the policies  products  and expertise that brings organization to this extremely complex topic and boosts your confidence in the performance and integrity of your network systems and services. Written by a CCIE engineer who participated in the development of the CCIE Security exams  Network Security Principles and Practices is the first book that provides a comprehensive review of topics important to achieving CCIE Security certification. Network Security Principles and Practices is a comprehensive guide to network security threats and the policies and tools developed specifically to combat those threats. Taking a practical  applied approach to building security into networks  the book shows you how to build secure network architectures from the ground up. Security aspects of routing protocols  Layer 2 threats  and switch security features are all analyzed. A comprehensive treatment of VPNs and IPSec is presented in extensive packet-by-packet detail. The book takes a behind-the-scenes look at how the Cisco PIX(r) Firewall actually works  presenting many difficult-to-understand and new Cisco PIX Firewall and Cisco IOS Firewall concepts. The book launches into a discussion of intrusion detection systems (IDS) by analyzing and breaking down modern-day network attacks  describing how an IDS deals with those threats in general  and elaborating on the Cisco implementation of IDS. The book also discusses AAA  RADIUS  and TACACS and their usage with some of the newer security implementations such as VPNs and proxy authentication. A complete section devoted to service provider techniques for enhancing customer security and providing support in the event of an attack is also included. Finally  the book concludes with a section dedicated to discussing tried-and-tested troubleshooting tools and techniques that are not only invaluable to candidates working toward their CCIE Security lab exam but also to the security network administrator running the operations of a network on a daily basis.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"My Store","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":45666193571893,"sku":"ByrdShop_1587050250","price":64.13,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0627\/8139\/0901\/files\/9781587050251.jpg?v=1782422401","url":"https:\/\/atxbooks.com\/products\/network-security-principles-and-practices-9781587050251","provider":"ATX Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
