This text provides instructions on installing, administering, and maintaining Check Point's FireWall 1 product. The book includes real world scenarios of corporate intranet/internet security threats... This description may be from another edition of this product.
Aside from Check Point's manuals, this is the only book on FireWall-1 available on the market! Goncalves and Brown did a great job in complementing the manuals and better explaining what is not so easy to understand in the manuals, as well as providing value-added with the CD, which brings lots of whitepapers.
Very useful for first time implementations

I'm almost half way on the book and find it very useful for us here, at the point that we are purchasing two more for other technicians.
Make sure to check the white papers!

This book complements the information you get from Check Point's FireWall-1 manuals, but the real return of your investment is on the CD, which brings an insightful demo of FireWall-1 with configuration scenarios, and lots of white papers substantially complementing the information you need to successfully implement the firewall.
A great complement to FireWall-1's documentation

If you want to complement your FireWall-1 documentation with some strategical scenarios, additional security information (encryption, NAT, etc.), this is a great book. The evaluation copy of FloodGate and the multimedia demo of FireWall-1 also comes handy for those evaluating the product as well as learning more about its features and capabilities. However, I don't think this book has the intention to replace the manuals and installation procedure that comes with the product, as on that end, Check Point did a great job!
