Developing a network security policy and implementing the associated monitoring and management tools. Aimed at IT directors, network administrators, and security managers, this book shows how to develop a comprehensive network security strategy for an entire organization. After listing the attacks that a corporate network can face, it describes the various stages of implementing a security policy: risk analysis (description of methods) and requirements definition, network security policy definition (rule compilation), selection and deployment of technical solutions (network access, network management, etc.), and implementation of monitoring procedures and tools. Finally, the book demonstrates how to create dashboards that summarize network events, network configuration analyses, and more. The software tools offered free of charge by the authors on the Editions Eyrolles website (a universal network configuration checker based on regular expression patterns, a network risk calculator based on a quantification of the probability of threats, vulnerabilities and impacts…) facilitate the implementation of this approach, which is illustrated by a detailed case study.
