Developed in collaboration with a training and certification team from Cisco, Computer Network Security is an exploration of the state-of-the-art and good practices in setting up a secure computer system. Concrete examples are offered in each chapter, to help the reader to master the concept and apply the security configuration.
This book is intended for students preparing for the CCNA Security Exam (210-260 IINS), whether at professional training centers, technical faculties, or training centers associated with the “Cisco Academy” program. It is also relevant to anyone interested in computer security, be they professionals in this field or users who want to identify the threats and vulnerabilities of a network to ensure better security.
Network security is the branch of computer science that consists of protecting all components of a computer network in order to prevent unauthorized access, data stealing, misuse of a network connection, modification of data, etc. The aim of network security is to provide proactive defense methods and mechanisms to protect a network against internal and external threats.
The book covers all subjects listed in the syllabus for the Cisco exam mentioned above. However, we have also integrated certain practical cases from the real work of networks that we deemed important.
Each chapter begins by presenting a theoretical concept related to a predetermined security objective and then provides the CLI commands and screenshots of the GUI needed to secure the network component. Practical tasks are suggested at the end to help the student apply this configuration and gain mastery over the concept presented. This book was developed in collaboration with a training and certification team from Cisco in order to ensure that the content was clear and simple. The book aims to present, in a single volume, the state-of-the-art and good practices to put in place a secure information system.
