Cisco Secure Intrusion Detection System (CSIDS) is a real-time, network-based IDS designed to detect, report, and terminate unauthorized activity throughout a network. Cisco Secure Intrusion Detection System is the official Cisco paced self-learning tool provides an explanation of why network security is very important in today's environment networks gather, how CSIDS improve security on a network, and how to install and configure CSIDS. The book is divided into seven parts: In Part I, you are exposed to how the network is attacked, along with ways to secure your network. This leads to Part II, which gives an account of CSIDS components and how they fit into the design of a secure network. Section VI look at the configuration of the Cisco Secure Intrusion Detection Director (CSIDD) platforms, as well as Cisco IOS Firewall IDS. The book concludes with Part VII of the upcoming features and enhancements planned for CSIDS. Cisco Secure Intrusion Detection System is part of a recommended learning path from Cisco Systems that can include simulation and hands-on training from the base of Cisco Learning Partners and self-study products from Cisco Press.
