Synopsis

This book is designed to address vulnerabilities in a network at all levels. Hence, it will cover WAN security, router and switch security, wireless network security, server and workstation security, and even remote access security. It covers best practices in major security tasks including developing a security model, monitoring for and logging security breaches, and responding to an attack. Liska also covers where a firewall should be placed in a network, and the purpose of a DMZ. Part 1: Introduction - provides the scope of network security, and helps a network administrator develop a security strategy, including providing numbers for revenue lost because of security incidents. Part 2: The Network - covers LAN and WAN security concerns. The idea is to restrict access into the network and prevent problems that occur in one area of the network from affecting others. Part 3: Firewalls - where to place them and the need for a DMZ. Part 4: Servers and Workstations - covers some of the fundamental problems with securing servers and workstations. Part 5: Monitoring and responding to attacks. It covers monitoring the network, what to look for, how to log information, and what to do if a network is attacked. Part 6: Bringing it all Together - take the network initially deployed, and demonstrate how the network has been better secured.

À propos de la quatrième de couverture

Enterprise security for real netadmins in the real worldThis book shows how to secure an enterprise network in the real world--when you're on the front lines, constantly under attack, and you don't always get the support you need. Symantec security engineer and former UUNet network architect Allan Liska addresses every facet of network security, from risk profiling through access control, Web/email security through day-to-day monitoring. He systematically identifies today's most widespread security mistakes and vulnerabilities--and offers realistic solutions you can begin implementing right away.Coverage Includes:

• Quantifying security risks and "selling" security throughout the organization
• Defining security models that reflect your company's philosophy
• Translating your security model into effective, enforceable policies
• Making your routers and switches your first lines of network defense
• Controlling access via authentication, authorization, and accounting
• Configuring secure VPNs and remote access
• Securing wireless LANs and WANs
• Establishing a DMZ between your network and the public Internet
• Securing Web/application servers, DNS servers, email servers, and file/print servers
• Implementing effective day-to-day network security administration, monitoring, and logging
• Responding to attacks: detect, isolate, halt, report, and prosecute

Liska integrates these techniques in an end-to-end case study, showing you how to redesign an insecure enterprise network for maximum security--one step at a time.
