Re: just starting as Traffic Analyst

I recommend you ditch the CISSP book until after you learn to do your
current job, unless it is a requirement to keep said job.

I suggest the following books to learn the basics of network security
monitoring:

The Tao of Network Security Monitoring: Beyond Intrusion Detection
~ Richard Bejtlich

This should be required reading and I strongly recommend you pick it up.

Internet Core Protocols: The Definitive Guide: Help for Network Administrators
~ Eric Hall

This is a good reference manual even if you are already well versed in
the protocols covered.

Is your position more focused on monitoring for security or ensuring up time?

Finally, with no offense intended, is English your second language?
