Hello @suryaaa,

there are basically 2 books for this exam currently available.

The Official Cert Guide from CiscoPress can be found here:

https://www.ciscopress.com/store/ccnp-security-cisco-secure-firewall-and-intrusion-prevention-9780136589709

The other book is published by Todd Lammle in 2 volumes and and can be found at Amazon by searching for '300-710 SNCF'.

Both books are still based on the v1.0 of this exam.
Since the current v1.1 is just a minor revision, CiscoPress have stated that they have no plans to publish an updated release.

A minor upgrade typically contains no more than 10% updated content so that the books are still a very good foundation for your exam preparation.

So you need to check the current list of the v1.1 Exam Topics and compare it to the book content to identify any potential gaps that you need to fill with additional material and/or practice.

HTH!

Yes, passing the Core exam and one Concentration exam are sufficient to achieve the CCNP Securtiy certification.

The order does not matter as long as you pass both exams within the timeframe of 3 years.

There are several options you can take a look at:

The DevNet Sandboxes and dCloud offer a variety of labs that include FMC, FTD, ISE, etc. The always-on sandboxes are easy to access but restricted to what you can do. Other labs need to be reserved in advance but typically offer full admin rights and flexibility to what you can practice. They are free so some labs are pretty busy.

The Cisco Modeling Labs (CML) on the other hand run on your local machine but you have to buy the Personal License at US-$ 199 for 12 months. The current version 2.8.1 includes FMCv and FTDv 'only' but the upcoming version 2.9 is expected to include ISE as well.

HTH!

Cisco also offers paid CCIE Security practice labs: https://learningnetwork.cisco.com/s/article/ccie-security-practice-labs

Scenarios 5 and 6 cover FTD Site-to-Site and Remote Access VPNs.
