Customer Reviews & Comments
If you're new to IT Security or beginning to get stuck in the mire that pervades most books on the topic, this is the resource you need. Between those books that are a mile wide and an inch-deep or those an inch wide and a mile-deep, readers are left with too little knowledge of the breadth of Information and Network Security and may become discouraged to learn enough about Information Security to make an informed decisions -- career or technology wise. Because Information Security is a broad career choice where it's impossible to become an expert in all areas, this book uses the industry-accepted Common Body of Knowledge (CBK) defined by the International Information Systems Security Certifications Consortium, Inc. (...) as the organizing framework to describe the 10 domains of knowledge at a principles and practices level without over-complicating these topics with implementation details or product-specific bias. If you're in the market for materials to fast-track your understanding of information systems security, look no further!
