Product Description
Book Description
The practical, hands-on Cisco network security implementation guide!
Covers IPSec, CiscoSecure™, PIX firewalls, and much more.
Firewalls, intrusion detection, vulnerability scanning, and access control.
Real-world implementation, configuration, and management -- step-by-step, in depth! Finally, theres a single source for practical, hands-on guidance on implementing and configuring every aspect of Cisco network security -- including PIX firewalls, IPSec, and intrusion detection. Cisco Network Security covers virtually every topic that Cisco covers in its $2,200 network security course, but with greater detail and more reference material. Leading network security consultant James Pike offers step-by-step guidance for implementing and configuring every key Cisco security product. The first book to provide start-to-finish coverage of working with Ciscos market-leading PIX firewalls, Cisco Network Security also provides hands-on, practical information on deploying IPSec that contrasts with the theoretical discussions found in some competitive books. Coverage also includes- installing and configuring Ciscos Secure IDS/Net Ranger intrusion detection tools; performing vulnerability scanning with Cisco Secure Scanner; and controlling access with Cisco Secure Access Control System. For all Cisco technical professionals who are responsible for network security, including system and network administrators, intermediate-to-senior level network technicians, and technical managers.

Well organized and well documented.,

This review is from: Cisco Network Security (Hardcover)
You have a router or routers installed and you are the network manager. You understand how important the security is to the business yet you need a reference manual to help make sure you are taking the right steps to ensure maximum security. This book may be just what you need.
Pike covers the security risks and threats showing you what weaknesses usually occur and how to avoid them. He also goes into detail about what the threats are and the protection you'll need.
Pike shows how important the architecture is and what router services and protocols need to be implemented and setup in order to maintain a high level of security. The design of the firewall and the use of Cisco PIX firewall including the features and configuration is taken apart in the book.
Finally there is excellent coverage of the all important access lists, encryption both symmetric and asymmetric, IPSec management and configuration and coverage of the VPN with PPTP L2TP and IPSec. Overall this is helping me make the network safer and more reliable.
