About this title

Synopsis

The only authorized textbook for the Cisco Networking Academy Program

Cisco Networking Academy Program Fundamentals of Network Security Companion Guide, along with the Fundamentals of Network Security Lab Companion and Workbook and the corresponding online course, provide a thorough introduction to network security.

This portable desk reference focuses on the overall security processes based on a security policy with an emphasis in the areas of secure perimeter, secure connectivity, security management, identity services, and intrusion detection. Along with the Cisco Networking Academy Program online course, this Companion Guide covers the installation, configuration, monitoring, and maintenance using Cisco command-line interface (CLI) and web-based device managers on both the Cisco IOS Firewall and the PIX Security Appliance. It also covers how to

• Configure Network Address Translation, access lists, stateful traffic inspection, and application filtering
• Implement signature-based intrusion detection
• Configure identity management using authentication, authorization, and accounting
• Configure virtual private networks using industry-standard IPSec for both site-to-site and remote access connectivity

This Companion Guide also includes security appendixes that cover several installation tutorials for various hardware and software products.

This book and the course align with the new Cisco Firewall Specialist certification objectives. The Cisco Firewall Specialist encompasses the SECUR (formerly known as MCNS) and Cisco Secure PIX Firewall Advanced (CSPFA) exams. You can use this book and the course to begin certification preparation.
