Book Information and Description:

Network Security Technologies and Solutions
A comprehensive, all-in-one reference for Cisco network security

* A valuable single source reference for any network professionals interested in learning about cutting edge network security technologies
* Learn from the comprehensive, end-to-end approach to securing network infrastructures
* Use the design and deployment guidelines to optimize network security performance
* Full coverage of the latest CCIE Security exam objectives

Network Security Technologies and Solutions is a comprehensive reference to the most cutting edge network security products and methodologies. This book helps networking professionals understand and implement current, state-of-the-art network security technologies to ensure secure communications throughout the network infrastructure. With an easy-to-follow approach, this book serves as a central repository of security knowledge to help network security engineers implement end-to-end security solutions. Divided into five parts, Network Security Technologies and Solutions takes you from the fundamental level of each technology and progresses to more detailed descriptions and discussions of how to secure each part of the network infrastructure. Part 1 addresses perimeter security. Part 2 discusses identity. Part 3 examines data privacy. Part 4 covers security monitoring. Part 5 addresses policy management. With this definitive reference, you will gain a greater understanding of the solutions available and learn how to build integrated, secure networks in today's modern, heterogeneous networking environment. The book is comprehensive in scope, including information about mature as well as emerging technologies. Coverage is broad, but it will be deep enough to provide you with design and implementation guidelines as well as basic configuration skills.
