Cisco Firepower Threat Defense(FTD) NGFW: An Administrator's Handbook : A 100% practical guide on configuring and managing CiscoFTD using Cisco FMC and FDM.

This book is written like a learning course, explained in detail with a lab topology using FTDv and FMCv. Hence this is a 100% practical guide on configuring and managing Cisco Firepower Threat Defense Next Generation Firewall using Cisco Firepower Management Center.
