Editorial Reviews

"I have been interested in obtaining my NSE4 for some time now, the only problem has been the very limited Fortinet knowledge base available to the general public. The NSE4 is always in demand and Fortinet certifications can really add worth and value to your career. Fortinet does offer classes, but without having a corporate partnership, training and travel can be very expensive. This book is technical but also very easy to read, you can tell the author is experienced and very knowledgeable"

Amazon - Freddy Smeltzer
