1) Paperback Book Hardening Network Infrastructure (Hardening) by McGraw-Hill Osborne Media. Practical, hands-on ´guide´ to securing your environment. Even includes securing those pesky wireless network upstarts! Very nuts-&-bolts. Real world applications, as shown by Mr. Noonan´s inclusion of various network equipment and its operations. From implementations of firewall ACLs, AAA, routers & switches command line/GUI consoles, to deployment of VLANs, DMZs and intrusion detection systems - this book has got it all!!! No network admin should not have this on their book shelf!¤

2) Paperback Book Hardening Network Infrastructure (Hardening) by McGraw-Hill Osborne Media. It is evident that the author has real world knowledge and experience. His writing style is clear and easy to read but he still keeps it too a high technical level. The author isn´t afraid to get into specifics on how to secure your infrastructure. Too many authors today seem to write their security books with vague suggestions on security but don´t really give you anything really solid. I began using this book as a reference immediately for a big project I had coming up it gave me the info I needed. This book should be on anybody´s shelf that´s serious about security¤

3) Paperback Book Hardening Network Infrastructure (Hardening) by McGraw-Hill Osborne Media. I have been reading networking and infrastructure books for over 15 years and there are a few that make the grade as a keeper.. (one that ends up on ebay or sold in a garage sale is NOT a keeper :) I have this as my new ´keeper´ and it will stay by my side and make a few trips up and down the west coast in my trusty laptop bag.
The fact that there are examples of each ´fix´ or procedure that is important is a goldmine of information. My favorite line was early in the book when Wes made the statement.

"If you don´t have a firewall, stop reading this book right now and go buy or build one and implement it on your network."

Now, how many books actually tell you to put it down and go do something then show you HOW to if you run into problems or have some questions.
Wes really wants to help you in beginning those first steps to protecting your data and network all the while being able to talk to all levels who touch or SHOULD be touching security.
From the CIO/CTO/IS Manager all the way down to the guy sitting in from of a Cisco command prompt. They are all taken care of with this book in clear concise explanations and very easy to grasp diagrams..

Rating: Buy...

4) Paperback Book Hardening Network Infrastructure (Hardening) by McGraw-Hill Osborne Media. This is a good resource that serves as a starting point for anyone in the unenviable position of needing to get a network into a more secure posture. If this is your role it is a must have. It covers a lot of ground in a "how-to" manner, instead of the normal books of theory. There are lots of screen prints and step by step instructions for setting up things like TACACS, IPSEC, firewalls, ACL´s etc...¤

5) Paperback Book Hardening Network Infrastructure (Hardening) by McGraw-Hill Osborne Media. If you are a LAN administrator you NEED this book for the section entitled, "Do This Now!", and you´ll find the later sections informative as well. If you are involved in network planning or security design this is a must have. The book is laid out well and easy to read with a good logical flow from one topic to another. The language the author chose to use makes it a much easier read than some of the other stuff out there I´ve seen. I´m definitely glad I picked this one up!¤
