There are a basic set of books that cover the areas of Cisco Security that for the most part follow the Security Certification. Out of them all my personal favorite is Cisco 12.0 IOS Security, which is a monstor book that covers about the same topics that you will find in Managing Cisco Network Security but gives real examples and command descriptions.

There are also from Cisco on VPN, PIX, and one of my personal favorites and an absolute must have for anyone that does security with any Cisco devices

Just awesome down to earth real direct book on each different category of Cisco components and how they can be effected.

Hope that helps!!

Here is comment posted by memeber of ccie security lab.. Someday this will be me$$$

I passed ccie security lab today. I was told that i did really well in the lab and scored nearly perfect.

My advice to the folks preparing for this lab is the following,

- ccie security is very modern test. in my opinion, much more real life than routing and switching test today
- it is certainly doable if you put your dedicated time and equipment to it
- i studied and crammed labs for about 150 hours total between CSS1 and ccie security and took me little less than three months to accomplish both.
- if you are ccie routing and switching, you are half way there
- if you are ccnp (practical, not book one), then you are 30% there
- if you are css1 (practical, not book one), then you are 30% there
- routing and switching is core of all three ccie tracks (r/s, security and CNS). you must know it very well
- read MCNS book three times before you start on CCIE security labs
- bookmark cisco's security tac site, http://www.cisco.com/warp/public/707/ make it your homepage while preparing for ccie security lab
- work on speed. it has been more than two years since i passed my ccie routing and switching two days lab. i practised for my speed a lot. one day lab is brutal if you are not quick. one must know 90% of the commands required at the fingertip without question mark or CD. I started my lab 30 minutes late because of traffic and finished two and half hours before the bell. that gave me time to go back to the entire lab and decorate and fix minor things and retest the whole lab as one piece.
- scan through the whole lab start to finish two times. be careful not to spend more than 10-15 minutes though.
- hardest part is to wait for results email. make sure you plan something hectic the next day of your test. i was on email every second and it was not fun to wait.

It is great to hear this type of information. Awesome job on getting through the lab for Security. I bet that it was a living hell the last few weeks before the lab.

Now that you are there, get that dream job and start living!! You earned it! I can just imagine how much time it must have taken to prepare and take both switching/routing and security exams with labs.
