Bit outdated but Good

I used this book to prepare for Cisco HIPS exam (which I passed). Even though it is bit outdated, it covers the product pretty well. The book starts with end point security bascis, then move into CSA building blocks, installation, configuration, monitoring, analyzingas and ends with CSA administration and maintainence. The book is well written, specially chapters 3, 4 and 5 really help in understanding the basic concepts.I would recommend it to anyone who wants to understand CSA or is preparing for the Cisco HIPS exam. I would also recommend "Advanced Hospt Intrusion Prevention with CSA" and "User Management Guide for CSA" from Cisco's website (a free download).

Covers most basics

This covers most if not all of the basics. Not very in depth when it comes to more complex scenarios. Overall, I would recommend it for those interested in learning about CSA, and typical day to day activities.
