Summary: Get a copy!
Review: This is one of the best Cisco Security books available! I would read this book next in your preparation - and I would read it more than once. It is thorough, detailed and complete on most of the exam topics, and especially some of the more important ones.

Summary: "the howto" security book to which others must aspire
Review: 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!

Review: Written by Saadat Malik (the CCIE engineer who wrote the CCIE Security lab exam and helped instigate the CCIE Security written exam), Network Security Principles And Practices is a textbook-style instructional, reference, and resource for professionals responsible for virtual private networks and the protection of valuable information. Individual chapters comprehensively address the various dimensions of network security including device security, secure routing, secure LAN switching, firewalls, intrusion detection, service provider security, and much more. An expert, 774-page guide, Network Security Principles And Practices is filled from cover to cover with working library of technical information, theory, and examples in practice.
