SAFE: Extending the Blueprint to Small, Midsize and Remote-User Networks

Tags:
firewalls

Overview Review best practices for designing and implementing secure networks by adapting the SAFE principles appropriately for smaller networks. SAFE provides an approach to network security design that focuses on threats and methods of mitigation, resulting in a layered approach where the failure of one security system does not compromise network resources. Technical analysis of the design is included, as well as threat mitigation techniques and strategies.
