SAFE: A Security Blueprint for Enterprise Networks
This white paper discusses Cisco''s secure blueprint for enterprise networks (SAFE). SAFE takes a defense-in-depth approach to network security design. This type of design focuses on the expected threats and their methods of mitigation, rather than on "Put the firewall here, put the intrusion detection system there." This strategy results in a layered approach to security where the failure of one security system is not likely to lead to the compromise of network resources. SAFE is based on Cisco products and those of its partners.
