Cisco Firepower Threat Defense (FTD): Configuration and Troubleshooting Best Practices for the Next-Generation Firewall (NGFW), Next-Generation Intr

I had spoken to the author this morning during Cisco Live in Orlando and he was able to point me to the material that I had initially missed during my initial reading (regarding remote spoke locations communication with FMC). Book is quite comprehensive for the "core practices" for FTD with FMC implementations. I had expressed to Mr. Rajib during my conversation that it would be nice for some additional details to be included, however the book would probably be few hundred pages longer. If you are implementing FTD with FMC, you will certainly find this reading very helpful, and you will not regret buying it. Thank you Nazmul for this great material :)

Excellent book, perfect for administrators and security professionals, as well as CCIE Security candidates

A good handbook to get started, although some of the advise is countered by Cisco Live webinars (e.g Network Discovery 0.0.0.0/0)Definitely one to have, especially during a first deployment.

Book is solid in the fundamentals, this book shows you how to get the 5500 series and 4100 series up and running and also goes over registration to FMC, licensing, access policies, FMC, FXOS, URL filtering and IPS policies. This book really helped me out to understand the FTD code from start to finish and would recommend it to anyone who is trying to figure out if this book is worth it...it is. Especially when you need to troubleshoot with TAC, you have a leg up with the same troubleshooting techniques that Cisco TAC uses so you can prove were the issue is and get to the next level in support.

As a snort, Sourcefire, and now a Cisco Firepower SME, finally a book that gets you into the meat of this product. I had worked with product for many years and continue to do so now. Great detail, technical explanation, easy read, even quizzes you! I personally worked with some of them in Sourcefire. This is a breakthrough. I congratulate Nazmul, which I remember when came to Sourcefire. Thank you so much. For all those Network, firewall engineers, architects, partners, resellers, Cyber engineers this book will assist you in managing this security appliance. Hopefully, Cisco and its partners can provide training sessions around this book. Thank you
