A must read for Cisco Security Certifications Rating:
5 / 5
As I am preparing for my CCIE Security, this is one of the first books I read. I found this book to be very comprehensive in its approach. The author has combined all the network security technologies in one book and now this is tough. It starts with an Introduction and then builds on that. It covers the whole nine yards VPN's Firewalls, IDS, Access Control. The Troubleshooting part of the book is very helpul to working professionals as it starts with troubleshooting NAT and then covers everything from Firewalls (PIX and IOS), VPN's, IDS and AAA. A lot of issues can be resolved just using this part of the book. I recommend this book as it will surely help everyone looking for everthing about security. This book is a must read for professionals pursuing the CCSP and CCIE Security Certifications.

Best ever book from Cisco Rating:

Not only for exam preparation, this book is for every Cisco lover. Covers a lot of stuff, took me over 2 months to finish but I feel way more knowledgeable now.
"the howto" security book to which others must aspire Rating:
5 / 5
This is simply the best book for SecurIE's or security specialist's that I have ever read, the depth to which Mr Malik goes into and its accuracy are astounding.It reads very well but also makes great reference material, and his explanation of IPsec and IKE has got rid of my 'numb feeling' from reading other books. I cannot recommend this book enough!
