Implementing Cisco IOS Network Security (IINS)

Foundation learning for CCNA Security IINS 640-553 exam

Catherine Paquet

Implementing Cisco IOS Network Security (IINS) is a Cisco-authorized, self-paced
learning tool for CCNA® Security foundation learning. This book provides you with
the knowledge needed to secure Cisco® routers and switches and their associated networks.
By reading this book, you will gain a thorough understanding of how to troubleshoot and
monitor network devices to maintain integrity, confidentiality, and availability of
data and devices, as well as the technologies that Cisco uses in its security infrastructure.

This book focuses on the necessity of a comprehensive security policy and how it
affects the posture of the network. You will learn how to perform basic tasks to
secure a small branch type office network using Cisco IOS® security features available
through the Cisco Router and Security Device Manager (SDM) web-based graphical user
interface (GUI) and through the command-line interface (CLI) on Cisco routers and switches.
The author also provides, when appropriate, parallels with Cisco ASA appliances.

Whether you are preparing for CCNA Security certification or simply want to gain a
better understanding of Cisco IOS security fundamentals, you will benefit from the
information provided in this book.
