| data center network diagram: Zero Trust Networks Evan Gilman, Doug Barth, 2017-06-19 The perimeter defenses guarding your network perhaps are not as secure as you think. Hosts behind the firewall have no defenses of their own, so when a host in the trusted zone is breached, access to your data center is not far behind. That’s an all-too-familiar scenario today. With this practical book, you’ll learn the principles behind zero trust architecture, along with details necessary to implement it. The Zero Trust Model treats all hosts as if they’re internet-facing, and considers the entire network to be compromised and hostile. By taking this approach, you’ll focus on building strong authentication, authorization, and encryption throughout, while providing compartmentalized access and better operational agility. Understand how perimeter-based defenses have evolved to become the broken model we use today Explore two case studies of zero trust in production networks on the client side (Google) and on the server side (PagerDuty) Get example configuration for open source tools that you can use to build a zero trust network Learn how to migrate from a perimeter-based network to a zero trust network in production |

| data center network diagram: Computer Networking: Network+ Certification Study Guide for N10-008 Exam Richie Miller, If you want to PASS the CompTIA Network+ Certification, this book is for you! The Network+ credential is the first certification that many IT professionals ever receive. It has been around for over 25 years at this point and has been awarded to over a million applicants during that time and this matter, because the certification has become well known by IT employers. When you're looking for a job and you have the Network+ after your name, most companies know that that's a real credential. It's also a vendor‑neutral credential, in the sense that it doesn't promote any particular hardware or software vendor and although the exams do recognize and reflect the prominence of Microsoft Windows in the corporate world, they also include limited content on Apple operating systems, Linux, Android, and Chrome OS. Because Apple's operating systems only run on Apple hardware, the exams do cover Macs, iPhones, and iPads. It's fair to say that the CompTIA Network+ exams try to reflect the hardware and software that a technical support professional is likely to see in real life, and that's part of its relevance and appeal. In a nutshell, the Network+ certification is the preferred performance‑based qualifying credential for technical support and IT operational roles, according to the organization that manages it, CompTIA. The Network+ certification focuses on the day‑to‑day work of an IT technician in a business environment. One reason the Network+ certification receives respect by IT employers is that it is accredited by international organizations. The ISO, or International Standards Organization, is a worldwide standard‑setting group headquartered in Geneva, and ANSI, the American National Standards Institute, is the USA's representative to ISO. CompTIA has been accredited by ANSI for compliance with the ISO standard that applies to operating a certification body or organization, and CompTIA must maintain certain quality levels in order to maintain that accreditation. That's a bit of background on CompTIA and the Network+ certification. But who might benefit from this credential? Well, anyone wanting to be hired on by a company that requires it, certainly, but more broadly, anybody pursuing a career in tech support, for example, as a help desk analyst, service desk analyst or a desktop support technician. Field service techs will also find the credential helpful, as will those who aspire to being a network engineer or a documentation specialist in IT.
