As a network administrator, auditor or architect, you know the importance of securing your network and finding security solutions you can implement quickly.  This succinct book departs from other security literature by focusing exclusively on ways to secure Cisco routers, rather than the entire network. The rational is simple: If the router protecting a network is exposed to hackers, then so is the network behind it.  Hardening Cisco Routers  is a reference for protecting the protectors.   Written by Thomas Akin, an experienced Certified Information Systems Security Professional (CISSP) and Certified Cisco Academic Instructor (CCAI), the book emphasizes practicality and a hands-on approach. At the end of each chapter, Akin includes a Checklist that helps you double-check the configurations you have been instructed to make. They serve as quick references for future security procedures.  Concise and to the point,  Hardening Cisco Routers  supplies you with all the tools necessary to turn a potential vulnerability into a strength.
