Despite considerable investments in information security, organizations continue to be afflicted by
cyber incidents. At the same time, management aims for greater results with fewer resources. Hence, improving
security effectiveness remains vital, if not essential, while enhancement of both effectiveness and flexibility has
also become a primary objective.
Without proper safeguards, every part of a network is vulnerable to a security breach or unauthorized activity
from intruders, competitors, or even employees. Many of the organizations that manage their own internal
network security and use the Internet for more than just sending/receiving e-mails experience a network
attack??”and more than half of these companies do not even know they were attacked. Smaller companies are
often complacent, having gained a false sense of security. They usually react to the last virus or the most recent
defacing of their website. But they are trapped in a situation where they do not have the necessary time and
resources to spend on security.
To cope with these problems, Cisco has developed the SAFE Blueprint, a comprehensive security plan that
recommends and explains specific security solutions for different elements of networks.
