Designing Secure Network Architectures

Building a safe network environment entails more than merely installing network devices and connecting them with wires. A well-designed network architecture is the foundation for a strong security posture. This chapter discusses the principles and practices of developing secure network architectures. We'll look at ways for developing robust and secure network designs, implementing a thorough defense-in-depth strategy, using network segmentation to promote isolation, and adhering to secure network design principles. Understanding and utilizing these concepts will dramatically improve the security of your network architecture.
