I am taking on a new role and I need to learn the basics of cisco firewalls really quickly.
I have a 9 hour flight in about 3 hours and wanted a book recommendation so I could start reading up.

Resurrecting this thread for a moment...

I need a book that covers 8.3/8.4 updates, we have several ASA's running the latest version and most books only cover up to 8.2, and as we know there are several changes in 8.3+ that need documented with updated books. Any references? Thanks
 
Oops.
Just read today that they refreshed these exams.
Ive been living under a rock at uni.

Books i bought last xmas look to be outdated now, as they bumped OS to 8.4 if read this correctly.

What Is New in Security Certifications

  • Updated curriculum including Cisco ASA adaptive security appliance version 8.3 and 8.4 software
  • Additional focus on Cisco AnyConnect 3.0 and traditional IPsec clients
  • Information on Cisco ASA adaptive security appliance 8.3+ simplified Network Address Translation (NAT)
  • Enhanced data for configuring global access control lists (ACLs)
  • Extended coverage for EtherChannel
  • More support for bridge groups support in transparent firewall mode

There is another book by Deal 'configuring ASA' that got good reviews. I have it, but its not Cert based.
