Goals and Methods

The goal of this book is to provide a resource for every person concerned with security. Readers do not have to be networking professionals or CIOs to benefit from this book, although they can as well. It is our hope that all readers, from students to professionals, will benefit from this book.

You can explore each component of the network and verify how it can be securely deployed. When complex security technologies or concepts are encountered, they are explained with real-world examples and practical analogies. This book covers serious topics, but it should also be fun and easy to read. We have endeavored to meet this goal.
