Syngress Publishing Announces the Release of “Security Sage’s Guide to Hardening the Network Infrastructure”
Rockland, MA — Syngress Publishing, Inc. has published “Security Sage’s Guide to Hardening the Network Infrastructure” (ISBN: 1-931836-01-9).
“Security Sage’s Guide to Hardening the Network Infrastructure” is the first book to focus exclusively on how hackers exploit the “nuts and bolts” of computer networks. The book goes on to provide system administrators and security professionals with defense strategies. Coverage includes almost all network devices, including firewalls, routers and switches. Readers will find plenty of vendor- and tool- specific instructions that detail exactly how to configure each device.
The authors of the book are Steven Andres and Brian Kenyon.
Chris Williams, President of Syngress Publishing, said, “Security Sage’s Guide to Hardening the Network Infrastructure fills a real gap in the libraries of most security professionals and system administrators. There are many books out there that discuss software and operating system vulnerabilities, but very few go into any detail regarding specific hardware vulnerabilities.”
Stephen Dugan of www.101labs.com commented, “Inside this book you will find network infrastructures naked, their flaws in security exposed for the world to see.”
Chapter topics include: Understanding Perimeter and Internal Segments, Assessing Your Current Network, Selecting the Correct Firewall, Attacking Firewalls, Routing Devices and Protocols, Secure Network Management, Network Switching, Defending Routers and Switches, Implementing an Intrusion Detection System, Perimeter Network Design, and Internal Network Design.
