Product Description

Amazon.co.uk Review
Cisco Secure Internet Security Solutions is straight from Cisco's course sheets and it starts off fairly strong. It goes over the basic Internet attacks and explains DoS, SYN floods, SNMP problems and other typical hacker attacks in clear language that's aimed at the mid-level Cisco professional It then covers some of the solutions Cisco has created for the standard array of l33t probes and system invasions. And in a very nice feature it actually provides a set of simple global commands that it suggests should be configured on all Cisco products and then explains what each step does and why you should do it, line by line. The next few chapters go into some detail about the Cisco secure product family, discussing PIX Firewalls and Cisco Secure Policy Manager and what you'd use them for. Later a couple of long tutorials on configuring the Cisco Secure Scanner and the Secure Policy Manager are filled with helpful screen shots and a fair amount of explanation. But the software is complex and the book offers no demo or sample software to experiment with. If you aren't able to get your hands on a copy, you might as well resign yourself to reading this section numerous times until you get it. And even then, it still concentrates mostly on how to use the software as opposed to how it works or where it can be used properly, which may or may not be what you're looking for. Fortunately, the book ends well, giving examples of common Internet security threats and suggested solutions. The book has two major flaws, however: The first is that in the end it's still mostly regurgitated Cisco documentation and it doesn't seem to offer a whole lot of real-world experience for the reader to use. The second is that in the end, this book is little more than an overview of what Cisco can do for you, sans an overview of the competition or the areas that may have no competition. Cisco Secure Internet Security Solutions gets the job done if you want to know about Cisco security products and approaches and it does it well. It's also a not-bad introduction to security issues. But ultimately, it's neither fish nor fowl. --William Steinmetz

Product Description

Must-have security strategies using Cisco's complete solution to network security

  • The only book to cover interoperability among the Cisco Secure product family to provide the holistic approach to Internet security
  • The first book to provide Cisco proactive solutions to common Internet threats
  • A source of industry-ready pre-built configurations for the Cisco Secure product range

Cisco Secure Internet Security Solutions covers the basics of Internet security, and then concentrates on each member of the Cisco Secure product family, providing a detailed explanation with examples of the preferred configurations required for securing Internet connections. The Cisco Secure PIX Firewall is covered in depth from an architectural point of view, and a reference of the PIX commands explains their use in the real world. Although Cisco Secure Internet Security Solutions is primarily concerned with Internet security, the information inside is also applicable to many general network security scenarios

5.0 out of 5 stars Great coverage of the Cisco 'end to end' Security platform, 21 Oct 2001
Everyones heard of the PIX or the Cisco router (IOS Firewall), and a number of good books exist to help you get the most from them.

This book takes a different slant and shows the reader the issues and Cisco solution to the many faces of security. Building on the Cisco SAFE security blueprint, the whole range of Cisco security products is covered in enough depth for readers to appreciate, design and implement these solution to secure there own networks.

A good must have for Cisco centric shops, or consultants working on Cisco platforms.
