The "Information System Security Officer's Guide" was a gem which offered the readers sound basic fundamentals on establishing and managing an information protection program. The follow-up "I-Way Robbery" is an equally excellent, easy to read and understandable treatise on a very complicated, challenging, and sophisticated theme of Internet crime and security. The authors have provided numerous examples of illegal intrusion of the of the Internet and have cited recommended solutions to prevent and avoid unauthorized and costly attacks by hackers, phreakers, crackers, and even foreign commercial and government agencies traveling on the I-Way which they analgously compared it to the modern Superhighways. This book is an excellent companion to the ISSO Guide and should be included as a reference book for security and law enforcement professions. It is also a must read book for executives, managers and supervisors to understand their responsiblities for effective management and operation of their connections to the Internet as we head into the new millennium.
