Book Description:
Identify, manage, and counter security threats with the Cisco Security

Monitoring, Analysis, and Response System Dale Tesch Greg Abelar

While it is commonly understood that deploying network security devices

is critical to the well-being of an organization's systems and data, all

too often companies assume that simply having these devices is enough to

maintain the integrity of network resources. To really provide effective

protection for their networks, organizations need to take the next step

by closely examining network infrastructure, host, application, and

security events to determine if an attack has exploited devices on their

networks. Cisco Security Monitoring, Analysis, and Response System

(Cisco Security MARS) complements network and security infrastructure

investment by delivering a security command and control solution that is

easy to deploy, easy to use, and cost-effective. Cisco Security MARS

fortifies deployed network devices and security countermeasures,

empowering you to readily identify, manage, and eliminate network attacks

and maintain compliance. Security Threat Mitigation and Response helps

you understand this powerful new security paradigm that reduces your

security risks and helps you comply with new data privacy standards. This

book clearly presents the advantages of moving from a security reporting

system to an all-inclusive security and network threat recognition and

mitigation system. You will learn how Cisco Security MARS works, what the

potential return on investment is for deploying Cisco Security MARS, and

how to set up and configure Cisco Security MARS in your network.
