Designing Network Security Book Review: A Practical Guide by Merike Kaeo

This is a very good book. It provides a good foundation of basic universal security practice and then goes into detail on how to implement network security using Cisco hardware and software. No single aspect is covered in exceptional depth- the book is meant to give a little information on the whole range of security rather than mastering any one area of network security. . . .. This is a very good book. It provides a good foundation of basic universal security practice and then goes into detail on how to implement network security using Cisco hardware and software. No single aspect is covered in exceptional depth- the book is meant to give a little information on the whole range of security rather than mastering any one area of network security. Kaeo brings a decade of knowledge and experience to the subject and the writing is relatively clear and concise. Merike Kaeo has been a network security professional with Cisco Systems, Inc for over 10 years. As a CCIE and a member of IEEE and IETF Kaeo has a tremendous amount of knowledge and experience to share on the subject. The first of the book provide an overview of the core "Security Fundamentals". Each chapter delves a little deeper as the author talks about various aspects of network security including encryption, authentication, PKI, wireless security and more. Beyond that Kaeo discusses the prevailing environment and what sorts of threats exist currently. Aimed more at infosec managers than administrators it provides a good look at common attack methods and things to consider when implementing network security. These first two sections combined also provide a wealth of information to help those aspiring to pass the CISSP or other security certification exams.
