I firmly believe that you have made an important step towards your career in network security, which is a fast developing and exciting field in the networking area. Information Security threats are on the rise, and although several products and technologies have been developed to mitigate these threats, the long-proven and trusted hardware firewall is still the heart of security for any network. Firewall administrators and designers are therefore in high demand. Cisco has a large market share in the hardware firewall market, so by learning to configure and implement one of the best firewall appliances you are guaranteed a successful career in this field. This eBook is the result of my working experience with the Cisco Adaptive Security Appliance (ASA), and summarizes the most important features and most frequent configuration scenarios that a security engineer will encounter most of the times. I have tried to “squeeze” the vast volume of information about Cisco ASA firewalls into a handy, directly applicable handbook that will get you on track right away. You can use this eBook in conjunction with other documentation resources or as a reference guide for the most common configuration concepts of the Cisco ASA Firewall. This Third Edition of the book is completely updated to cover the latest ASA version 9.x. All configuration commands, features etc will work on the newest ASA 9.x (in addition to older 8.x versions) and also on the newest ASA 5500-X models. This updated book Edition includes also extensive new content, making it one of the most complete ASA books available in the market. I believe that the Third Edition ebook will be a valuable resource for both beginners and experienced ASA professionals.
