Designing Network Security

Corporate network security issues still very much fill the media today. Most books available on this subject today focus on hosts or firewall security problems, or provide a theoretical study of security technologies. In contrast, Designing Network Security offers a very practical approach to the implementation of secure network design, offering the additional bonus of Cisco specific perspectives and case studies. Designing Network Security demonstrates in a practical manner how to architect and implement a site security policy that translates to a secure corporate network environment.
