CCIE Security v5: Reading list


The current "official" reading list sucks. Hopefully Cisco will update it, but there is a lot of older books on there, certainly not suitable for the new exam.

In this post I will list a few of the more suitable books for the new exam. Some have not been released yet, and some are old, but extremely useful, so do check out the Amazon marketplace, as there are some bargains to be had!
