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.

Customer Reviews & Comments
I was pleasantly surprised with ` The Practice of Network Security: Deployment Strategies for Production Environments'. The book is a very good technical overview of the details of network security. While it is technical in nature, it is not so technical as to turn off the average reader. This is a good resource for a manager that needs to understand a security technology, but who does not want to get bogged down in the technical minutia. The book brings together all of the top-level security technologies and products needed to secure a corporate infrastructure. The book covers a lot of ground in its 375 pages and is an excellent starting point for anyone needing a quick and effective introduction to network security.
