My expectations were exceeded with this book. Each section covers one of the CCSP exams. Quick reference sheets are like the "cliff notes" of the entire class so if you have taken the class or have good experience, its a quick review of what's important. This book can be used as a study reference OR as a technical reference.

This was one of the books I used to prepare for my CCIE Security written. In the last week leading to the test, I used the flash cards and practice tests to assess topics that I needed to focus on. While this book is focused on the CCSP certification, I felt that topics common to both certifications would help me in my preparation. And it did.

This book covers the 5 exams of the CCSP certification and includes focused points on securing networks, securing routers & switches, IPS, VPN's and Cisco PIX's. Starting with flash cards, prompting the user to pick the right answer, the authors then have detailed sections on relevant topics. A quick read and useful to a prospective CCSP candidate.

I used the book for preparing for some of the CCSP exams and it made a very nice job refreshing the concepts and clarifying some key information. I did good thank to it on the SNRS and SNPA exams, soon will be sitting IPS and I don't think it will dissapoint me this time.

Maybe it is just me but I was kinda expecting something I could rip out of book on heavy card stock to use as flash cards. While the information is presented in the book in the form of flash cards, you're still supposed to do the Q&A in the book itself as there is no perforations and the pages won't last long if you cut them up yourself. Other than that, the material is good and should work well to prep you for the exams.
