Understanding the SAFE Blueprint
Another able apparatus accessible from Cisco for aegis administrators is SAFE, a aegis adapt for action networks. The SAFE adapt builds on the Cisco AVVID architectonics by accumulation best practices and complete aegis functionality throughout the infrastructure. Fundamentally, the SAFE adapt reinforces the complete charge for aegis in avant-garde action networks and capacity the administration protocols and functions all-important to administrate the aegis infrastructure.
The allowances of SAFE are
SAFE provides a abundant adapt to deeply attempt in today's Internet and commutual economy.
SAFE provides a solid foundation for brief to a defended and cost-effective network.
SAFE, by actuality modular in design, enables companies to break aural their budgets.
SAFE provides aegis at anniversary admission point to the arrangement application best-in-class aegis articles and services.
SAFE is organized by arrangement breadth as follows:
Network Campus Area
Network Edge Area
Service Provider Area
Each breadth is modular for constant and rapidly adaptable aegis throughout the enterprise, back and breadth it is needed. Back arrangement managers use SAFE to architectonics their security, the aegis architectonics does not charge to be redesigned anniversary time a new account is added to the network. Anniversary breadth has several modules acclamation admeasurement and site-specific aegis functionality. The SAFE adapt is depicted at a aerial akin in Figure 1.2.
Figure 1.2: The SAFE Adapt
Each of these modules incorporates designs for best performance, yet ensures aegis and integrity. SAFE modules are advised to abode several arrangement attributes including, but not bound to, aegis and blackmail response, defended management, availability, scalability, QoS support, and articulation support.
Additionally, Cisco has adapted the SAFE adapt with new modules that absorb Wireless LAN and IP Telephony security. Both abode small-, medium-, and enterprise-sized environments and accommodate architectonics capacity agnate to those listed earlier.
Let's attending as these areas in added detail.
