Book 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
