Review # 1 was written on 2010-08-28 00:00:00 Simon Torres m I read this for a class that I took, and it wasn't as useful to me as I might help. While it covers the basic concepts of Network Perimeter Security, as it goes farther in depth, it misses the sweet spot of more specific information versus tool-specific advice. My feeling is that any written book needs to be careful when giving tool specific advice, providing me examples on how to set a specific CISCO router is useless if the industry has moved beyond using that router - therefore, it renders much of the book less than useful as, at the moment, I'm not sure what environment I'll be put in. However, I did find the award winning network perimeter examples/case studies to be quite useful when conceptualizing an "ideal" perimeter. Overall, if you've got the cash to burn, pick up the book, especially if you are newish to the field (like me!), but don't expect it to stay on your shelf for frequent referencing.

Review # 2 was written on 2015-04-02 00:00:00 Boris Greci Read for a class I was taking. Very technical in nature as the first 120 pages gives you all kinds of Cisco router commands. Then, at that point, it tells you that the first thing that you should have done was setup a policy before proceeding. Hum...shouldn't the policy have been the first section then? Written by engineers and it shows since that was the order of precedence to give us technical commands first. Good reference book, though.
