I am currently preparing for my last CCNP exam (CIT), and are therefore slowly considering what to do next. My experience with Cisco routers, switches, etc. is still too low for me to even consider going for the CCIE right away. However, security is one of the areas where I lack knowledge and experience, so I have decided to go that way next. Since the main reason for the security choice is that I want knowledge, I am therefore not that concerned with a special certification. Here are some questions: What route should I take to get the best knowledge about security areas like: firewalls, proxy servers, vpn, etc.? - Cisco, Central Point, ? How well does Cisco's PIX's do compared to other products, and is a PIX enough to protect against as much as possible (I know that you can never be 100.00% secure when you allow anything through). Are there any extremly good books you simply must recommend me reading (from beginner to advanced)? Any other good advise?
