Computers and networks emerge from the
integration of communication devices, storage devices, processing
devices, security devices, input devices, output devices, operating
systems, software, services, data, and people. This chapter discusses
the Open Systems Interconnection (OSI) model as a guiding principle
in networking, cabling, wireless connectivity, Transmission Control
Protocol/Internet Protocol (TCP/IP) and related protocols,
networking devices, and firewalls.
The Communication and Network Security domain for the CISSP
certification exam deals with topics related to network components
(i.e., network devices and protocols), specifically, how they function
and how they are relevant to security. This domain is discussed in this
chapter and in Chapter 12, “Secure Communications and Network
Attacks.” Be sure to read and study the materials in both chapters to
ensure complete coverage of the essential material for the CISSP
certification exam.
