Only Cisco Press Book I Ever Returned for a Refund!
This is without a doubt, the biggest waste of time of any Cisco Press book I ever purchased. I was VERY excited about the coverage this book promised for poorly documented topics such as Cisco Secure Policy Manager.What a bitter disappointment. This book is as wide as the horizon and as deep as a backyard puddle. I wish I could give this title a negative number, but I'm forced to be polite and post a "1". I can't believe any self-respecting CCIE would attach his/her name to such a fluffy, insubstantial work of garbage. Save your money and buy one of the specific security titles:...

A get to the point, Tell me how to do it, book.
This book goes hand-in-hand with the MCNS coursebook. Where the MCNS book is Wordy, this book gets right to the point and tells you how to use Cisco Secure Policy Manager and Cisco Firewalls. However, This isn't the book for you if you need to have everything explained to you in great detail. MCNS is the book for that. This book is well written and keeps your interest. (Something that is hard to come by in the networking field of books.) Kudo's to Andrew Mason, and Mark Newcomb for an excellent book.

Good, but not in-depth overview of cisco network security
I can hardly believe that this book was written by CCIEs as it contains a lot of errors. What do you think about "service ROUTER-encryption" command, phrases like "unless you are purposely using SNMP version 1, the "snmp-server community" command must be avoided at all costs (because it enables SNMP ver 1 instead of ver 2)" and so on. A lot of the text was directly borrowed from cisco IOS configuration guides without any modification. And believe me, extended numbered access lists can be edited as well as named ACLs!
