Book Description

Fortinet offers the most comprehensive solutions to help industries accelerate security, maximize productivity, preserve user experience, and lower total cost of ownership. A FortiGate firewall is a comprehensive network security solution that provides firewall protection, intrusion prevention, antivirus and antimalware scanning, VPN connectivity, and other security features. FortiGate firewall is also a router. It offers real-time threat intelligence to help you stay one step ahead of cyber attackers. When a firewall executes packet filtering, it examines the packets of data, comparing it against filters, which consist of information used to identify malicious data. If a data packet meets the parameters of a threat as defined by a filter, then it is discarded and your network is protected. This book consists from the following parts: 1. Firewall Evaluation 2. Firewall Sizing 3. FortiGate Series 4. FortiGate Access 5. FortiGate GUI Overview 6. FortiGate Administrator: 7. FortiGate Password Policy: 8. FortiGate Global Settings 9. FortiGate Modes 10.

Book Description

Traditionally, network security (firewalls to block unauthorized users, Intrusion Prevention Systems (IPS) to keep attackers out, Web filters to avoid misuse of Internet browsing, and antivirus software to block malicious programs) required separate boxes with increased cost and complexity. Unified Threat Management (UTM) makes network security less complex, cheaper, and more effective by consolidating all these components. This book explains the advantages of using UTM and how it works, presents best practices on deployment, and is a hands-on, step-by-step guide to deploying Fortinet's FortiGate in the enterprise. - Provides tips, tricks, and proven suggestions and guidelines to set up FortiGate implementations - Presents topics that are not covered (or are not covered in detail) by Fortinet's documentation - Discusses hands-on troubleshooting techniques at both the project deployment level and technical implementation area

Book Description

In the five years since the first edition of this classic book was published, Internet use has exploded. The commercial world has rushed headlong into doing business on the Web, often without integrating sound security technologies and policies into their products and methods. The security risks--and the need to protect both business and personal data--have never been greater. We've updated Building Internet Firewalls to address these newer risks. What kinds of security threats does the Internet pose? Some, like password attacks and the exploiting of known security holes, have been around since the early days of networking. And others, like the distributed denial of service attacks that crippled Yahoo, E-Bay, and other major e-commerce sites in early 2000, are in current headlines. Firewalls, critical components of today's computer networks, effectively protect a system from most Internet security threats. They keep damage on one part of the network--such as eavesdropping, a worm program, or file damage--from spreading to the rest of the network. Without firewalls, network security problems can rage out of control, dragging more and more systems down. Like the bestselling and highly respected first edition, Building Internet Firewalls, 2nd Edition, is a practical and detailed step-by-step guide to designing and installing firewalls and configuring Internet services to work with a firewall. Much expanded to include Linux and Windows coverage, the second edition describes: Firewall technologies: packet filtering, proxying, network address translation, virtual private networks Architectures such as screening routers, dual-homed hosts, screened hosts, screened subnets, perimeter networks, internal firewalls Issues involved in a variety of new Internet services and protocols through a firewall Email and News Web services and scripting languages (e.g., HTTP, Java, JavaScript, ActiveX, RealAudio, RealVideo) File transfer and sharing services such as NFS, Samba Remote access services such as Telnet, the BSD "r" commands, SSH, BackOrifice 2000 Real-time conferencing services such as ICQ and talk Naming and directory services (e.g., DNS, NetBT, the Windows Browser) Authentication and auditing services (e.g., PAM, Kerberos, RADIUS); Administrative services (e.g., syslog, SNMP, SMS, RIP and other routing protocols, and ping and other network diagnostics) Intermediary protocols (e.g., RPC, SMB, CORBA, IIOP) Database protocols (e.g., ODBC, JDBC, and protocols for Oracle, Sybase, and Microsoft SQL Server) The book's complete list of resources includes the location of many publicly available firewall construction tools.
