Cisco ASA : All-in-One Firewall, IPS, and VPN Adaptive Security Appliance (Paperback)by Omar Santos, Jazib FrahimISBN: 1587052091Lately there is a fashion to say that now the network layer has been secured and so application security rules and that is what we need to worry about. Nothing can be further from the truth, imagine if a VPN implementation is not working as desired is it possible to still have a secure application layer, I think not. That is why they are called layers as they work in perfect harmony with each other.The book on Cisco ASA provides a very good understanding of the Adaptive behaviour of the next generation of cisco products which do the work of detection, prevention and combatting network threats. The book explains in a very lucid way to implement and configure a complex device which handles the work of a virus scanner, content filter, firewall and VPN.Through various confguration examples and designs the book explains the complex task of troubleshooting and that itself is worth the price of the book. The tips on how to use the various debug commands to fine tune the device are invaluable and a must for any one attempting to tame this beast.The coauthor Jazib Frahim, CCIE is a senior network security engineer in the Worldwide Security Services Practice of Advanced Services for Network Security at Cisco.The coauthor Omar Santos is a senior network security engineer in the Worldwide Security Services Practice of Advanced Services for Network Security at Cisco.I give this book 5 stars on a scale of 5, 5 being the highest. I strongly recommend this book.Niloufer Tamboly, CISSP

Excellent reference book. I wouldn't want to curl up with a cup of hot cocoa and read it from beginning to end, but it was an essential tool in a recent firewall migration at my workplace. It also seems to be just about the only book about the relatively new asa platform.

Dear all,I am totally satisfied with the contents of the book.Needless to say that fulfilled my expectations for an in-depth analysis of the security aspects on Cisco ASA Systems.Thodoris,Athens, Hellas

This book has been very helpful for me. The only issue that I ran into was that the VPN section was a little outdated.

I bought this book 2 weeks back for an ASA project that my company is going to deploy. I am really amused to see that each chapter starts off with an in-depth architectural overview of the features to be discussed. It then provides full step-by-step configuration examples with lots of deployment scenarios. It even covers many troubleshooting and monitoring examples that helped me a lot when I started deploying it in my lab networkThis book is a must have if you are to use Cisco ASA in your network.I strongly recommend this Book and give 5 stars on the scale of 5.

I was surprised to see that Cisco was able to publish a book about ASA configuration/implementation. The authors had done a good job in explaining how the commands work and what kind of configurations can be used to implement IPS/VPN solutions.The book really helps to understand what kind of implmentation can be done by the ASA.If you were to use ASA for your company, I would suggest to buy this book and go through the information provided. Its an excellent guide and well written by the authors.
