1) Paperback Book Configuring Symantec AntiVirus Corporate Edition by Syngress. There is next to nothing in this book about SAVCE 8.x. It may be a fine resource for NAVCE 7.6, but it´s not at all as it is advertised. I agree with the previous reviewer who had this opinion. (I don´t usually write reviews, but this book upset me.)¤ 2) Paperback Book Configuring Symantec AntiVirus Corporate Edition by Syngress. This book is mis-titled. It is 99% about Norton AntiVirus Corporate Edition (NAVCE) 7.6, NOT the current Symantec AntiVirus Corporate Edition (SAVCE) 8.x. It only mentions a few of the many differences between the two products (usually in footnotes and sidebars). The cover prominently displays a "Free 1-year Upgrade" via the syngress.com website. As of this writing there are no upgrades available. SAVCE 8.x has been out for over a year now. I would expect to be able to download upgrades that cover SAVCE. Further, while lacking in coverage of SAVCE, the book instead goes off-topic and delves into setting-up and configuring your DNS servers and backup solution.¤ 3) Paperback Book Configuring Symantec AntiVirus Corporate Edition by Syngress. This is the first title I´ve seen that collects everything you need to know about Symantec Anti-virus into one organized place. The various chapters clarify information that is scattered throughout the online documentation and various mailing lists and discussion groups, and expands on those topics even further. The exercises provide wonderful step-by-step guides to perform the real-world tasks that you´ll perform when installing and configuring Symantec Anti-virus on a corporate network.¤ 4) Paperback Book Configuring Symantec AntiVirus Corporate Edition by Syngress. This book tells you everything you need to know about configuring the corporate edition of Symantec AntiVirus. Chapter 1 is an intorduction to NAVCE, including information on viruses, worms, trojan horses, etc. Many of us will be able to skip this chapter, but it is well written and provides a good starting point for using NAVCE and understanding Symantec security response. It also begins covering the Symantec Product Specialist certification. Chapters 2-6 are meaty and provide information on designing an antivirus infrastructure, understanding Symantec System Center, using Central Quarantine, configuring NAVCE 7.6 servers, implementing it to client PCs, and a ton more. Chapter 7 is on upgrading and then chapters 8, 9, 10 are on more intermediate and advanced topics like securing the environment. The last few chapters are on troubleshooting, handling virus outbreaks, disaster recovery etc. I skipped very little of this book, finding something of value in each chapter. There are notes throughout (with names like Designing and Planning and Damage and Defense). Most are helpful and provide good tips/examples. The faq´s at the end of the chapters are good -- not fluff like a lot of the books I read. There are also a lot of tutorials, numbered steps walking you through configurations. They are all easy to follow without being tedious. Overall, very very good.¤ 5) Paperback Book Configuring Symantec AntiVirus Corporate Edition by Syngress. This is the only book that will teach system administrators how to configure, deploy, and troubleshoot Symantec Enterprise Edition in an enterprise network. The book will reflect Symantec´s philosophy of "Centralized Antivirus Management." For the same reasons that Symantec bundled together these previously separate products, the book will provide system administrators with a holistic approach to defending their networks from malicious viruses. This book will also serve as a Study Guide for those pursuing Symantec Product Specialist Certifications.
Configuring Symantec AntiVirus Enterprise Edition contains step-by-step instructions on how to Design, implement and leverage the Symantec Suite of products in the enterprise.
Ø First book published on market leading product and fast-growing certification. Despite the popularity of Symantec´s products and Symantec Product Specialist certifications, there are no other books published or announced.
Ø Less expensive substitute for costly on-sight training. Symantec offers week-long courses on this same product for approximately $2,500. This book covers essentially the same content at a fraction of the price, and will be an attractive alternative for network engineers and administrators.
Ø Free practice exam from solutions@syngress.com. Syngress will offer a free Symantec Product Specialist Certification practice exam from syngress.com. Comparable exams are priced from $39.95 to $59.95.¤ Page Updated: Robert N. Goolsby, 7-Oct-2008, 19318368179781931836814, 430-060-740-360-901-171-8
