Summary: Important book for anyone tasked with securing Cisco routers
Comment: Companies often forget that receptionists serve as the gatekeepers of the corporate premises and are critical to security. In the cyberworld, the router is the virtual gatekeeper, monitoring the door that leads to the Internet. But firms often ignore the router's protective function, focusing instead on firewalls, encryption, and antivirus software.

Securing and Controlling Cisco Routers is an important book for anyone tasked with securing routers and corporate networks. Given that Cisco dominates the router industry, this book is especially pertinent.

After an introduction to TCP/IP and basic security, networking, and routing concepts, the author delves into core security issues such as authentication, authorization, and accounting; encryption; RADIUS (Remote Authentication Dial-In User Service); and Kerberos (an authentication system used to transmit private information over open networks). Nearly every section ends with material that allows the reader to practice the technologies discussed on a real PC. These sessions use the appropriate Cisco syntax, which is crucial because the Cisco Internetworking Operating System is notoriously abstract. Readers will find that being able to log onto a real router, practice the commands, and gather information is an enormous advantage.

The documentation that comes with Cisco routers is impressive, but it lacks security detail. This book more than compensates for that deficit.
