BOOK OF THE WEEK: CCNP ISCW OFFICIAL EXAM CERTIFICATION GUIDE
One of the most popular Cisco exams is Implementing Secure Converged Wide Area Networks, better known as ISCW, or 642-825. The 650-page “CCNP ISCW Official Exam Certification Guide” by Brian Morgan and Neil Lovering (http://safari.ciscopress.com/9781587201509) does an outstanding job of covering all the materials you need to pass
this exam.
Divided into 23 chapters and four parts, it covers everything from remote connectivity best practices to device hardening, and does so with plenty of figures and other features that make the topics easy to follow. And the “Do I Know This Already?” quiz at the beginning of each chapter lets you know whether you can save time and skip a few pages, or if you need to hunker down and read carefully.
