In this chapter, you learned that protecting your network is about more than just securing your servers and workstations. You also need to protect your environment against attacks that target your firewalls, routers, and switches.

Nevertheless, some countermeasures are effective at stopping most of these attacks. This chapter gave you those steps necessary to guard yourself against these common attacks. |
