Review: Speedy Delivery - I added a class at the last minute and ordered this book on a Tuesday and it was received on Friday. My class started on Monday. I didn't have to worry about falling behind. Review: Great book, wish it was in kindle - Great book, wish it was in kindle. I got the book used and it came in good condition. For a new one it is 100 bucks that is a little too much, and i would only spent that if this was the only book I were going to use, but it is not. I am happy with the book, and it helps me with my security classes as a reference.

Great book, wish it was in kindle. I got the book used and it came in good condition.

Good review, but maybe outdated already?
This is a solid recap of all categories of INFOSEC but the book feels antiquated at points. You'll find mentions of "PDAs" when talking about client devices, and the chapter on telecom focuses primarily on legacy telephone systems that are less-than-common in modern business. That is not to the detriment of the book as a whole, but it does make me wonder how current this book is.

The professor seemed to think that this was the best place to get all his info form
Used it in a masters program. The professor seemed to think that this was the best place to get all his info form; not from the textbook that was defined for the class. Once I got this, exams and homework was much easier!!

However the material in the book itself is good for the class
This one drove me batty. The class that required this also required a special code to access additional materials. This was the first time that this isn't included with the book. As it turned out, the class and my college had a special package set up for this, but wasn't advertised by the class or school until after i discovered the lack of a code. The rating is a warning for other folks taking a class that requires the book. Consult your professor to make sure there isn't some extra material that's supposed be part of the class. This book, new from Amazon, does not include any additional codes or materials. I suspect this is by design and the schools offering these classes decide if they will require additional materials. Check before you buy. However the material in the book itself is good for the class. especially if you're new to Info Systems Security.
