I now own all of the Blueprint printed books. This one is not my favorite. I would assume with al of the tools available to the average person they would have covered more basic security. The book covers a few of your everyday security issues but then jumps into securing the E15k and E10k environment. The E10k section makes up most of the book like they needed content or something.
Alex also covers way to much on Jumpstart.

They do however cover the Sunshield BSM which allows you to audit your systems at a C2 level.

Overall the book is not terrible it is a good read. Its not a all encompassing security book though.

In my work I am doing Enterprise Security. I also work with Solaris admin and setup as well. As I have been working with Solaris in the Enterprise it have been natural to use Jass/jumpstart /install servers).

Regarding the Enterprise Security, I find many good details of network and services to secure. What have given me most is the details related to Solaris, Jass and Install servers - and of cause, that is a part of the Enterprise.

However, if you're not familiar with the concepts used for Solaris installation and securing, it might not be the first book of your choise.

I would say, that even experienced security professionals can find some good details - though I would say it is a book with focus on Solaris and not Enterprise as most would expect.
