Re: OT: CCIE security advice!

Usama,

As you have actually realised, there just isnt a compiled list of dedicated
books on the Security (and probably the rest) track as there is for the
R&S. The main reason is as you know, the R&S track has been around for much
longer time.

Having said that, there are very good books for the Security track.
Although these books are not all specific to the exam itself, they would
get you to almost 70% or so of what you need to know for the exam.

This is where the doc CD is required to fill up the delta. It is absolutely
required for that 30% or so and this is regardless of which every vendor's
material you decide to follow.

I used INE for my Security track and I found it to be very good. But still,
as I said, I needed the additional 30% or so from personal experience,
bootcamp, doc CD to fill up the rest. I am sure other vendors are equally
good anyway.

HTH abit.
