Good Book
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 14 years ago
Makes everything easy to understand. It is a Principles books, so do not expect it to go too deep into topics. For beginners or people looking for a nice overview of the security field, this book is a good choice.

Great service throughout the search/checkout process and fast delivery of the product. The textbooks use is up to the user. I only need it for a exam so I cant really give a review on the book itself.
Very informative

I graduated from UAB in the fall of 2004. While attending school I was blessed with the opportunity work as an InfoSec Professional while utilizing Business Intelligence. In the spring semester of 2005 UAB implemented an information security course, i was given the opportunity to audit the course. We used this book in the course, at first i thought that it was over kill and boring, but at the end of the semester i realize that all the information is necessary for students to grasp the concepts of information security. One must remember that information security is still in its infancy as a profession, but it rapidly expanding. This book is great if one need an introduction to the information security profession. I currently have this book in my library, where i still use it as a reference when writing information security related papers for ACM.
Perfect Introduction Book
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 18 years ago
I have just finished my sophomore year in college and in my first course relating to information and computer security we used this book. I would recommend it to anybody who is interested in getting into the rapidly expanding field of infosec. As they say with the CISSP certification, it is an "inch deep and a mile wide". This book covers many, many topics however it is really intended to be an introduction to these concepts. It gave me a good overview of information security concepts and prepared me for senior level Infosec courses as well as preparation for graduate school. *Note that preparation for the CISSP exam would require much more then just this book*
PERFECT BOOK

I am a newbie in Information Security. This book is very clear: it provides a broad review of the entire field of IS, background on many related elements, and enough detail to facilitate understanding of the field on management and technical views. The autors are both CISSP and the book is focused on the CISSP Common Body Knowledge.Each chapter contains: Chapter-opening scenario, offline and technical degree boxes , hands-on learning, chapter summary, review summary, questions about it and exercices."The informations risk and controls are not in balance in technical field"
