Dear Network Security Professional,
Thank you for visiting my website. You are a few steps away from learning the
Fundamental Configuration Details of one of the Best and most popular Hardware Firewall in the market...
The Cisco Adaptive Security Appliance (ASA).
Network security threats are exploding. Numerous security technologies, and software or hardware products have been developed to mitigate these threats. However, the good old hardware firewall is still the cornerstone of any security implementation.
Cisco, with the older PIX Firewall 500 series models and with the new 5500 series ASA models, holds one of the top positions in the firewall appliance market.
Learning therefore to deploy, configure, and administer the Cisco ASA Firewall will give you a competitive advantage as a professional in the networking/security field.
The "Cisco ASA Firewall Fundamentals" eBook
below will help you achieve just that.
So, who will benefit from this eBook?
I have been working in the networking area for over 10 years and earned several Cisco Certifications including
CCNA, CCNP and
CCSP. I firmly believe that my Cisco firewall experience and knowledge accumulated in this technical handbook will be of great benefit for a range of professionals including:
 |
Cisco Firewall Administrators |
