Designing Network Security - Chapter 5
Threats in an enterprise network
Featured July 12-16
This chapter helps you identify which areas of the network are more susceptible to network intruders and who is the common attacker. The common trend in the past has been to trust users internal to the corporate network and to distrust connections originating from the Internet or from remote access networks using virtual private networks (VPNs), dial-in modems, and Integrated Services Digital Network (ISDN) lines. It is important to place trust in the employees internal to the network and in authorized people trying to use internal network resources from outside the corporation. However, trust must also be weighed with reality. (Reproduced from the book Designing Network Security, ISBN 1587051176, Copyright 2004, Cisco Systems, Inc.

Network Security Architectures, Chapter 6
General design considerations
Featured July 1-9
Whether your background is security or networking, you can use this chapter to learn how to bridge the gap between a highly available, efficient network and one that strives to maximize security. The included secure network design techniques focus on making network and security technologies work together as a unified system rather than as isolated systems deployed in an ad-hoc way. This chapter covers physical security issues, Layer 2 security considerations, routing considerations, and IP addressing, ICMP, transport protocol, and DoS design considerations.
