1.0 out of 5 stars THIS BOOK IS NOW OBSOLETE, August 25, 2003

By A Customer

This review is from: CCSA NG: Check Point Certified Security Administrator Study Guide (Hardcover)

Buyer beware. This book, published January 2003, does not cover Application Intelligence or SmartDefense, two subjects included on the new Checkpoint 156-210 exam as of July 2003.

1.0 out of 5 stars DO NOT BUY IF YOU PLAN TO GET CERTIFIED!, September 18, 2003

By A Customer

This review is from: CCSA NG: Check Point Certified Security Administrator Study Guide (Hardcover)

I just wasted $150 on the exam. The test contains many questions about Application Intelligence and SmartDefense. Two topics that not covered in this book. I should have read these reviews before buying.

1.0 out of 5 stars No cover for Feature Pack4, May 12, 2004

By A Customer

This review is from: CCSA NG: Check Point Certified Security Administrator Study Guide (Hardcover)

Just failed the exam due to this book. As per other reviews the book does not cover Application Inteligence or Smart Defense which have been added to the new Checkpoint CCSA exam. The other topics are covered very well but despite scoring over 80% on the other topics my 8% I scraped on Smart Defense was not enough to get me a pass. If they bring out a book that covers the 156-210.4 exam I would highly recommend it (unless Checkpoint have brought out feature pack 5!!).
