Foreword

With the explosion of the Internet economy, the continuous availability of mission-critical systems has never been more important. Network administrators through to business managers are expected by their customers, employees, and suppliers to provide constant network resource availability and access to critical applications and data in a completely secure environment. Not only is this a challenge, the stakes in breaching network security have never been higher.

It was written to help network security professionals understand and implement current, state-of-the-art network security technologies and solutions. Whether you are an expert in networking and security or a novice, this book is a valuable resource.

It provides practical, day-to-day guidance on how to successfully configure all aspects of network security, covering topics such as perimeter security, identity security and access management, and data privacy, as well as security monitoring and management.
