Cisco Network Security (Cisco technology series) (Hardcover)

Finally, there's 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 Cisco's 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 Cisco's 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.
