Product Description

Cisco NAC Appliance

Enforcing Host Security with Clean Access

Authenticate, inspect, remediate, and authorize end-point devices using Cisco NAC Appliance

Jamey Heary, CCIE® No. 7680

Contributing authors: Jerry Lin, CCIE No. 6469,

Chad Sullivan, CCIE No. 6493, and Alok Agrawal

With today’s security challenges and threats growing more sophisticated, perimeter defense alone is no longer sufficient. Few organizations are closed entities with well-defined security perimeters, which has led to the creation of perimeterless networks with ubiquitous access. Organizations need to have internal security systems that are more comprehensive, pervasive, and tightly integrated than in the past.

Cisco® Network Admission Control (NAC) Appliance, formerly known as Cisco Clean Access, provides a powerful host security policy inspection, enforcement, and remediation solution that is designed to meet these new challenges. Cisco NAC Appliance allows you to enforce host security policies on all hosts (managed and unmanaged) as they enter the interior of the network, regardless of their access method, ownership, device type, application set, or operating system. Cisco NAC Appliance provides proactive protection at the network entry point.

Cisco NAC Appliance provides you with all the information needed to understand, design, configure, deploy, and troubleshoot the Cisco NAC Appliance solution. You will learn about all aspects of the NAC Appliance solution including configuration and best practices for design, implementation, troubleshooting, and creating a host security policy.

Jamey Heary, CCIE® No. 7680, is a security consulting systems engineer at Cisco, where he works with its largest customers in the northwest United States. Jamey joined Cisco in 2000 and currently leads its Western Security Asset team and is a field advisor for its U.S. Security Virtual team. His areas of expertise include network and host security design and implementation, security regulatory compliance, and routing and switching. His other certifications include CISSP, CCSP®, and Microsoft MCSE. He is also a Certified HIPAA Security Professional. He has been working in the IT field for 13 years and in IT security for 9 years.

  • Understand why network attacks and intellectual property losses can originate from internal network hosts
  • Examine different NAC Appliance design options
  • Build host security policies and assign the appropriate network access privileges for various user roles
  • Streamline the enforcement of existing security policies with the concrete measures NAC Appliance can provide
  • Set up and configure the NAC Appliance solution
  • Learn best practices for the deployment of NAC Appliance
  • Monitor, maintain, and troubleshoot the Cisco NAC Appliance solution

This security book is part of the Cisco Press® Networking Technology Series. Security titles from Cisco Press help networking professionals secure critical data and resources, prevent and mitigate network attacks, and build end-to-end self-defending networks.

FrontPage 2003 (The Missing Manual)

Posted: 26 May 2009 10:13 PM PDT

FrontPage 2003 (The Missing Manual)

FrontPage 2003 (The Missing Manual)

Product Description
In today’s highly connected world, almost everybody has a web site, from local sewing circles to the world’s largest corporations. If you’re ready for one of your own, Microsoft’s FrontPage 2003 has everything you need to create Web pages. It’s true. Your geek friends may howl in contempt if you use FrontPage, but that’s because the program has a reputation for spitting out cookie-cutter Web pages with messy, overloaded HTML code that takes forever to load. Not any more.

After listening to complaints, Microsoft has given FrontPage 2003 some pretty advanced features, including an HTML cleanup tool that helps alleviate bloated code, and new support for Macromedia Flash and XML. Now, savvy Web veterans can control as much of the process as they want, and even collaborate on a site with developers who use Dreamweaver, GoLive or other Web authoring tools. Yet, unlike those other tools, FrontPage 2003 still has automated features for beginners who don’t know where to start.

There’s still one flaw, though. Microsoft’s idea of a user manual is a flimsy pamphlet. But that’s easily solved. “FrontPage 2003: The Missing Manual” offers you everything from the basics to meaty sections on advanced tasks. Our book puts the program’s features in context, with clear and thorough chapters that provide valuable shortcuts, workarounds, and just plain common sense, no matter where you weigh in on the technical scale. With it, you can learn to build simple Web pages, or sophisticated ones with tables and Cascading Style Sheets, and find out how to manage and publish a Web site. You’ll also learn to create forms, work with databases, and integrate FrontPage with Microsoft Office.

If you haven’tworked with Web pages before, each chapter provides “Up to Speed” sidebars with useful background information. If you do have experience, the “Power Users’ Clinic” sidebars offer advanced tips and insights. You won’t find tips like those in the pamphlet, or even in the Help file. “FrontPage: The Missing Manual” gives you the complete lowdown on the program above and beyond any book on the market.

About the Author
Jessica Mantaro is an accomplished technical writer who has worked as an instructor, training professionals to use Microsoft Frontpage and also as a creator and editor of Web pages. She is now a freelance writer living in New England. Prior to all that, she spent time in New York’s art world, where she toiled to boost technical savvy among the old-fashioned and inexperiened.

Urban Design

Urban Design

Urban Design

Book Description

Fifty years ago a landmark conference at Harvard University established urban design as a distinct architectural and planning practice. Today, with the world's urban population surpassing three billion people, urban design has become more crucial than ever. Indeed, the concerns that initially brought leading architects and city planners together—including concerns over sprawl, pollution, and aging infrastructure—have only intensified over the past half century.
In Urban Design, Alex Krieger and William S. Saunders have assembled prominent figures in architecture, planning, and landscape design to look back on the evolution of the discipline of urban design; assess the current state of the field; and anticipate the challenges posed by the unprecedented rate of urbanization, particularly in the developing world, and how the profession will need to adapt in order to confront them. The volume opens with excerpts from transcripts of the 1956 Harvard conference followed by essays that contextualize and critique its assumptions and ambitions. Subsequent essays address such topics as the social conscience of urban design and stake out the competing sensibilities in the field, from New Urbanism to avant-garde.

As humanity becomes an urban species to a degree that was unimaginable fifty years ago, this comprehensive volume seeks to encourage today's designers to draw on the energy and messy vitality of cities in shaping tomorrow's urban environments.

Contributors: Jonathan Barnett, Denise Scott Brown, Joan Busquets, Kenneth Greenberg, John Kaliski, Timothy Love, Fumihiko Maki, Richard Marshall, Eric Mumford, Michelle Provoost, Peter G. Rowe, Edward W. Soja, Richard M. Sommer, Michael Sorkin, Emily Talen, Marilyn Jordan Taylor, Wouter Vanstiphout, Charles Waldheim.

Guidelines for Use of Glass in Buildings

Guidelines for Use of Glass in Buildings

Product Description
More and more glass is being used in buildings. It is no longer considered a fragile material. It is recyclable and affordable. Glass is available in a wide range of architectural, structural, optical and acoustical properties to address the varying requirements of buildings. Knowledge about the use of glass in buildings along scientific lines is a ‘gap’ in the presently available literature.

The book is an attempt to focus on comprehensive guidelines for use of glass in buildings. It covers: *Evolution of glass to the present state, *Glass types with their properties and uses, *Selection of glass for specific applications and uses, *Determination of thickness of glass used in exteriors of buildings, *Safe use of glass in interiors, *Prevalent glazing systems, *’Do’s and ‘Don’ts’ about use of glass in buildings. As consolidated guidelines, the book is of immense value for architects, engineers, designers, consultancy firms, contractors, builders, window fabricators, glass manufacturers, glass processing industry and students of architecture, engineering and interior design.
