...looking at different measures that we can take to be proactive and prevent this from happening. There are several methods or should we say concepts available to the network administrators to help them in securing the networks or should we say the concept of defense-in depth, which is a concept that uses multiple defense strategies. This is a concept that all network administrators and security personnel should practice. Using this method will add several layers of security to your network. Two of those concepts or solutions are DMZ’s (Demilitarized Zones) and IDS’s (Intrusion Detection Systems). DMZ is a physical or logical sub-network that contains and exposes an organization’s external services to a larger untrusted network, usually the internet. Outside traffic from the untrusted internet is allowed only into the DMZ where it can get to certain company services. The Web applications in the DMZ then access the trusted internal network, but prevent the outside user from getting directly to the internal network. IDS which is a network security appliances which is typically installed within the LAN...

...PA r T O N e Foundations of Network Security Fundamentals of Network Security 2 Firewall Fundamentals 43 VPN Fundamentals 79 Network Security Threats and Issues 111 CHAPTer Fundamentals of Network Security 1 C OMPUTER NETWORK SECURITY is very complex. New threats from inside and outside networks appear constantly. Just as constantly, the security community is always developing new products and procedures to defend against threats of the past and unknowns of the future. As companies merge, people lose their jobs, new equipment comes on line, and business tasks change, people do not always do what we expect. Network security configurations that worked well yesterday, might not work quite as well tomorrow. In an ever-changing business climate, whom should you trust? Has your trust been violated? How would you even know? Who is attempting to harm your network this time? Because of these complex issues, you need to understand the essentials of network security. This chapter will introduce you to the basic elements of network security. Once you have a firm grasp of these fundamentals, you will be well equipped to put effective security measures into practice on your organization’s network. While this textbook focuses on general network security, including firewalls and virtual private networks (VPNs), many of the important basics of network security are introduced in this chapter. In Chapters 1–4, network security...
