Understanding the Cisco MARS Appliance

The Cisco MARS (Monitoring, Analysis, and Response System) is a network appliance that fits on your network to provide the best possible network security. The biggest failure with MARS is that many companies plug it in, use it's standard protocols and tests and then find that their network has been compromised. To get the most effective use out of MARS it must be actively managed. And that is the function of this book. It covers how to understand the problem, how to configure and deploy your MARS appliance as well as how the MARS works from a technical and procedural standpoint. The book is intended for professional security/network/management engineers/analysts/responders/administrators. It can be read at a level of using it to understand your system up to the actual hands-on set-up and use of the MARS appliance. This book is, of course, heavily oriented to the Cisco security approach, however as this is one of the most common systems used in large networks this is not bad. It is a fairly introductory level book intended for use at an operational level by the individuals in charge of your sizes.
